Help in Combo Box & List Box

[Surajit]

I am intermediate in Flash & I would like to know whether i can assign a action in Combo Box & List Box. such as selecting one name in combo box it will go the some specific frame label or frame number.

I had seen that on selecting combo box, it open a new browser window. Can the action may applied to go the specific frame number or label.

Thanks in advance for anyone helping.

Thanks for such a quick & great answer.

I would again required your help, I just want clicking on each item it should go to specific frame label or frame number. As per your answer it goes to the frame label & frame number but on selecting any thing.

I would be grateful if you could help me out.  Suppose there are 8 names in combo box & selecting one it should go to frame 10 & on selecting two it should go to frame 15 & so on.

Awaiting for your reply & quick answer.

Add label and data to the combobox using the Properties Panel. Put any label you want and in data, the name of the frame should go when seected. Then modify the script

[script]
listener = new Object()
listener.change = function(obj){
  _root.gotoAndStop(obj.target.selectedItem.data)

}
myCombo.addEventListener("change", listener)
[/script]

Thanks for prompt reply. But i am unable to understand the script. Can you please tell me how should i do it

Suppose
my combo box name is "mycombo"
my label is "01" "02" "03" "04"
& my data is "01" "02" "03" "04"

kindly help me out

[Jorge Solis]

If you want that your label "01" go to frame 5, you write "01" for label and 5 for data, if your label "02" should go to frame 10, you write "02" for label and 10 for data and so on.

Thankyou for your prompt reply & such a great help.

You are really too good in flash.

Is this script will be also be same for the list box??

one more thing,
suppose i there are two combo box & a go button

1st Combo box contains
001
002
003
004
005
006

2nd Combo Box contains
012
013
014
015
016
017


If i select 001 from 1st combo box & 014 from 2nd combo box & clicks on go button can it go to specific frame & vice-versa. If yes, kindly help me out.  

I am targeting on combo box & what other facilities does flash offers to users

[Jorge Solis]

List works on the same way.

You can call a function from your button to capture selectedItem on both comboboxes. To hardcode the capture use the combobox names:

frame1 = myCombo.selectedItem.data
frame2 = myOtherCombo.selectedItem.data

Once again thank you for prompt reply.

But this time i am unable to get the settings u said

suppose i there are two combo box & a go button
1st Combo box contains
a
b
c
c
d
e

2nd Combo Box contains
f
g
h
i
j
k


If i select "e" from 1st combo box & "f" from 2nd combo box & clicks on go button can it go to frame number 15

If i select "c" from 1st combo box & "k" from 2nd combo box & clicks on go button can it go to frame number 25

Please let me know the detail procedure for it, so that it will be easy to understand.

Awaiting for your reply

Call a function like this:

function toFrame(){
 frame = Number(myCombo.selectedItem.data) + Number(myOtherCombo.selectedItem.data)
 _root.gotoAndStop(frame)
}

Data (not labels) in combobox should have the proper frame number. So if letter "e" plus letter
 "f" should go to frame 15, the data for the first could be 10, for the second 5

Jorge

[Surajit]

Can you clarify these what action should i give to the "go" button & where should i place this

function toFrame(){
  frame = Number(myCombo.selectedItem.data) + Number(myOtherCombo.selectedItem.data)
  _root.gotoAndStop(frame)
}

for reference i am sending you the file

I had been successful with the script of combo box. I had also applied it to list box in the same file with script like this

combo box "myCombo" script

listener = new Object()
listener.change = function(obj){
  _root.gotoAndStop(obj.target.selectedItem.data)

}
myCombo.addEventListener("change", listener)


& for list box "myList01" script

listener01 = new Object()
listener01.change = function(obj){
  _root.gotoAndStop(obj.target.selectedItem.data)

}
myList01.addEventListener("change", listener01)

When i select a category from combo box, it opens list box but when i click it does not perform but when once again i click on combo box & select different category then it works.

I want to create no. of list box when clicked on combo category. kindly help me out

I am giving reference file
