Set variable in flash from combobox

[anders Jönsson]

 

Hello !

I have this combobox in mx 2004 pro. It is populated from a database, and this works fine. What i wish to do now is set a variable depending on the choice one makes from the combobox. So if i choose a post from the list,  the variable "combo_choice" will be set to that same name.

This way i could use that variable in a mail form.

Hope i make sense

Are you using MX or MX 2004?

Try this:

[script]
listenerObject = new Object();
listenerObject.change = function(evt){
 combo_choice = evt.target.selectedItem.data //or label
  //do something with combo_choice
}comboBoxInstance.addEventListener("change", listenerObject)
[/script]
