How can the script below be recoded to work with a flash MX 2004 combo box?

// Main Functions… This controls your Drop Down / Combo Box.

// The AddItems function assigns values to the drop down box from the external source  
function AddItems() {  
for (i=0; i\<NumItems; i++) {  
var Name = eval(“Name”+i);  
var DataRow = eval(“DataRow”+i);  
dropDown.addItem(Name, DataRow);  
}  
//Set ChangeHandler (this is the most important line).  
dropDown.setChangeHandler(“SelectItem”);  
}

// The SelectItem function tells the movie what to do when a user  
// Clicks on a certain Item in the drop down movie - this is your OnChange Handler.

// In this example we use it to open up a new URL.  
function SelectItem(){  
URLName = dropDown.getSelectedItem().label;  
URL = dropDown.getSelectedItem().data;

getURL(URL, “\_blank”);  
}
