[b]help With Combo Box[/b]

[skyrider123]

I need help.

What i want is a combobox and a dynamic text feild.

I want the text to change when the user selects a different option from the combo box.

i am using the UI combobox in MX 2004.

if you could make an example (working) for me it would be good.

Thanks

The example is originally from ultrashock.com. I modified and used it to demonstrate a problem with the combobox.

Yes thats all good but if i say want to have a combobox:

Blue
Black
Red

ok,

they are the values of the combo box (the values are the same)
I want it so that when i click red is displeays text
e.g. "hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhs blah"

When blue is selected
e.g. "hnnndhhhhsvvvw blah blah blah"

so the text does not always stay the same!!!!


-----EDIT-----

I want to achieve something like this:
----
msg = if (myComboBox.label === black models) {
"Another black";
}
----
msg = if (myComboBox.label === blond models) {
"blonds are dumb";
}
----

So

Here is your answer. I eliminated the labels from the combobox and instead added them with AS. If you don't like this way there is another way as well but this is simple.

//import the class
import mx.controls.ComboBox;
//
//ceclare variables
var myComboBox:ComboBox;
var statusMessage:TextField;
//
//add items and data to the combobox
myComboBox.addItem({label:"blond models", data:"Blond models are beautiful."});
myComboBox.addItem({label:"brunette models", data:"Brunette models are beautiful."});
myComboBox.addItem({label:"brown models", data:"Brown models are beautiful."});
//
//create a listener
var myComboBoxListener:Object = new Object();
myComboBoxListener.change = function(eventObj) {
    //Combobox
    var eventSource:MovieClip = eventObj.target;
    var theSelectedItem:Object = eventSource.selectedItem;
    //label: blond etc.
    var theSelectedItemLabel:String = theSelectedItem.label;
    //data: Blond models...
    var theSelectedItemData:String = theSelectedItem.data;
    statusMessage.text = theSelectedItemData;
};
myComboBox.addEventListener("change", myComboBoxListener);

Your way works great..

But i found another way!!

This code goes in my button!!

on (realease) {
    if (mycombobox.value = "value1") {
    text1.text = "TEXT"  
  }
} 

Thankyou i reguire no more help!!
