AS 2.0 Combo Box and XML

[alex_popa_81]

Hello. I have a problem involving a comboBox and a textBox. I need to import htmltext in the textBox when selecting the name of the person from the comboBox.
I reached an impossible point now and I rather upload the files than continuing to try with no point to resolve this.

Help will be much appreciated.

post it in Flash 8 format..

also in yo u.xml file.. i dont see any HTML text?

what is the text you want in the HTML text field?..

and hat do you want displayed in the combobox? what is the:

<combo>3</combo>
<content>345</content>
<icon>pdf.jpg</icon>

<combo></combo> tags for?

[alex_popa_81]

the comboBox loads text from inside the <combo> tags. The textBox loads the text inside the content tag.
icon is easy to define, forget that line.
HTML text will be defined in another function separately with a makeLinks function and inside the <content> tag I will have a CDATA text. That's easy also. I need to know just how to define the combo to retrive xml data from all the <combo> tags at once and populate the textBox when selecting one of the listed combo items.

well since you didnt want to post a FLASH 8, AS2 version for me to look at .


all I can say is if you dont knwo how to load and parse XML ..there is a link in my footer

beyond that once you have the XML loaded/parsed and attached to the items/data in the combo box...

you will need to use an onCHange event handler to watch for what item is chosen in the combobox..and then use its attached 'data' to display in the text field.

Replace your as code with:

var smth=0;
textBox.html=true;
var myXML1 = new XML();
myXML1.ignoreWhite=true;
myXML1.onLoad = function(success) {
	if(success) {
		pop();
	}
	
	
}
 
 
function updateContent()
{
	textBox.htmlText = comboBox.value[0]["txtContent"];
	loadMovie(comboBox.value[0]["image"], iconBox)
}
 
 
myXML1.load("1.xml");
 
function pop()
{
	rootNode = myXML1.firstChild;
	
	for(var i:Number = 0; i < rootNode.childNodes.length; i++)
	{
		comboLabel = rootNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
		comboBox.addItem({label:comboLabel, data:[{txtContent:rootNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue, image:rootNode.childNodes[i].childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue}]}) 
	}
	
	comboBox.addEventListener("change", updateContent);
	updateContent();
}

You can define your underline in the XML file itself:
