[F8] Instant Quote ComboBox HELP!

[jenla83]

Using the simple calculator setup, I am creating a quoting engine by using (and) with each field to come up with the answers. Thats not my problem, it works fine. But then I tried adding a combo box so you dont have to type in the information. But some reason when I push the quote button it doesnt read the text from the combo box. So i tried a normal input box again, it worked. I cant figure out how to make the combo box work with the simple calcular actionscript. Which has all the Actionscript on the "quote" button.

I can send the file if needed ... its just my testing file.

this might get you started

// arrays of labels and data
arrLabel = ["Select","Heart Attack","Angina","Flu","Cold","Sprain"];
arrData = [0,10,8,6,4,2];

// populate the combobox - instance name - combo
for(var j=0; j<arrLabel.length; j++){
combo.addItem({label:arrLabel[j], data:arrData[j]});
}    

obj = new Object();
obj.change = function(comp){
lab = comp.target.selectedItem.label;
dat = comp.target.selectedItem.data;
};
    
combo.addEventListener ("change", obj);

// button- instance name - quote_btn
quote_btn.onRelease = function(){ 
trace(lab);
trace(dat);
};
