[F8] Setting Selection of a Combobox?

[ibsen]

Is it possible to use AS2 to dynamically set the current state of a ComboBox?

I'm loading variables from an external file, and I need the ComboBoxes to reflect the selection that comes in.

Try something like this, where your cb instance name is myList.

xml = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;
function myXML(success) {
    if (success) {
        defaultNames = this.firstChild.childNodes;
        for (i=0; i<defaultNames.length; i++) {
            listName = defaultNames[i].childNodes[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
            pos.text += listName+"\n";
            myList.addItem(listName)
        }
    }
}
xml.onLoad = myXML;
xml.load("fileName.xml"); 

HTH.
