PeopleList: how can I get the clicked item out?

[martin47]

Greetings. I guess it is a easy question. This is what I want to achieve:

When you click a name on the PeopleList, I want to execute another movieclip that looks up some information about that person from a Database. The question is how to get the item clicked? Im not sure Im being clear, my english is not very good.

Thanks ahead for any help!

You need to set the change handler in your peoplelist.

people_lb.setChangeHandler("doThis");

function doThis(){
getUrl("users/" + people_lb.getSelectedItem().label + ".html";
//or
//gotoAndStop(5) //where you can load an external text file..
}

EX: 'people_lb.getSelectedItem().label' Is the username
