Multiple Selections to send user to appropriate link

[crawdad]

Hello all, I was sent here from the html board for a solution.

I am developing a product selection page where a user will pick what they want from 4 drop downs and be sent to the appropriate shopping cart page. The client wants it done with drop downs in the following way

DropDown1- Select Product(3 choices)
Dropdown2 - Select Color (7 choices)
DropDown3-Size (5 choices)
Dropdown4 - Add accessory or not (yes or no)

Then depending on their choices they will be sent to the appropriate page. Additionally, 2 0f the 7 color choices(camouflage, tan) do not have the accessory option so I need dropdown 4 to automatically change to no if a user selects one of these colors.

For example, a user selects product2, red, large, no accessory they will be sent to p2_red_large_no.html.

I would prefer to do this with flash opposed to javscript but I am not sure how, or even if it is possible. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks much.

this example might help

// Flash 8 - frame#1 - 
// 4 Combobox components -
// Instance names - product_cb, color_cb, size_cb, acc_cb
// 1 button - instance name - showLink_btn

prodArr = ["Select Product","Tie","Hat","Socks","Belt"];
colArr = ["Select Color","Red","Blue","Green","Tan","Camo","White","Black"];
szArr = ["Select Size","SM","M","L","XL","XXL"];
accArr = ["Accessories","Yes","No"];

for(var n:Number=0;n!=prodArr.length;n++)product_cb.addItem(prodArr[n],n);

var o1:Object = new Object();
o1.change = function(event_obj:Object) {
color_cb.removeAll();
for(var n:Number=0;n!=colArr.length;n++)color_cb.addItem(colArr[n],n);
htmlString1 = event_obj.target.selectedItem.label;
trace(htmlString1);
};
product_cb.addEventListener("change", o1);

var o2:Object = new Object();
o2.change = function(event_obj:Object) {
size_cb.removeAll();
for(var n:Number=0;n!=szArr.length;n++)size_cb.addItem(szArr[n],n);
htmlString2 = event_obj.target.selectedItem.label;
colData = event_obj.target.selectedItem.data;
trace(htmlString2);
};
color_cb.addEventListener("change", o2);

var o3:Object = new Object();
o3.change = function(event_obj:Object) {
acc_cb.removeAll();
htmlString3 = event_obj.target.selectedItem.label;
trace(htmlString3);
if(colData == 4 || colData == 5 ){ //  Tan or Camo
trace("no accessories");
} else {
for(var n:Number=0;n!=accArr.length;n++)acc_cb.addItem(accArr[n],n);
}
};
size_cb.addEventListener("change", o3);

var o4:Object = new Object();
o4.change = function(event_obj:Object) {
htmlString4 = "_"+event_obj.target.selectedItem.label;
trace(htmlString4);
};
acc_cb.addEventListener("change", o4);

showLink_btn.onRelease = function(){
if(!htmlString4) htmlString4 = "";
link = htmlString1+"_"+htmlString2+"_"+htmlString3+
htmlString4+".html";
trace(link);
};
