Try this, drag a FComboBox component on to the main stage in Flash MX.

Name it "Box" or whatever, by selecting it and then typing "Box" in the properties panel.

Then click on frame one and add this script to the actions panel....

box.addItem("Jan",01);
box.addItem("Feb",02);

Works a charm, then try adding....

box.addItem("Aug",08);

.....it outputs a syntax error.

box.addItem("Aug",8);
box.addItem("Aug",18);
box.addItem("Aug",01);

....all work, for some reason 08, and 09 aren't acceptable data types, which is a damn shame cos I planning on throwing those variables into a database.

Anyone have any idea what's going wrong??
