Need to call up data

[jiffyloop]

I'm trying to use the source code that Jeff put up regarding comboboxes and loading data from a text file using LoadVars. I want to be able to select something from the list and extract the data from it. I'm having a hard time calling it. Here is what I have:

function loadBox() {
   popupholder.loadMovie ("jobPopup.swf");
   graphicNumber = this._name.substr(-1)
trace("filename = " + DataRow) // I want to call this file up
   trace(reviewFiles_lb.getSelectedItem());
}

rv = new LoadVars();
rv.onLoad = AddItems;
rv.load("jobs_iit.txt");

function AddItems() {
   numItems = rv.NumItems;
   for (i = 0; i < numItems; i++) {
      var Name = eval("rv.jobName" + i);
       var DataRow = eval("rv.fileName" + i);
      var Desc = eval("rv.Desc" + i);
      var DataProvider = {Link:DataRow, desc:Desc};
      reviewFiles_lb.addItem(Name, DataProvider);
   }
   reviewFiles_lb.setChangeHandler("loadBox");
}

As you can see by my trace command in the loadBox function, thats what I want to call up, but it only calls up the last data in the list.

Any help would be appreciated.

You would need something like this:


trace("filename="+reviewFiles_lb.getSelectedItem().data["Link"]);


-----------
When you added whatever value was in DataRow to the Dataprovider, you added it as

var DataProvider = {Link:DataRow, desc:Desc};

ok so now if you want to reference that data you have to reference it like an Object sort of like:

myObject.data["Link"];
in this case it's you are specifying the selected item from the combo box:
myObject.getSelectedItem().data["Link"];

or
myObject.getSelectedItem().data["desc"];

Is that what you mean.

It takes a bit to get used to how to reference all these things - but it makes things really easy in the future.  I don't think I did a very good job of explaining it their, but hopefully you get the point.
