file = new LoadVars();  
file.onLoad = AddItems;  
file.load(“[http://www.file.asp](http://www.file.asp)”);  
function AddItems() {  
for (i=0; i\<file.NumItems; i++) {  
var Name = eval(“file.Name”+i);  
var Link = eval(“file.Link”+i);  
var Desc = eval(“file.Desc”+i);  
var DataProvider = {Name:Name, Link:Link, Desc:Desc};  
listBox.addItem(Name, DataProvider);  
}  
listBox.setChangeHandler(“SelectItem”);  
// set change handler.  
}  
function SelectItem() {  
\_root.Name = listBox.getSelectedItem().data[“Name”];  
\_root.Link = listBox.getSelectedItem().data[“Link”];  
\_root.Desc = listBox.getSelectedItem().data[“Desc”];  
}

This looks like better code then the code Sbeener gave on the thread “Parse” of the array, but here are a few hundred Questions:nerd:

1. I would like to implement a onChange function to load a sound file.

onChange = function () { screen.loadSound(listBox.getSelectedItem().data[“link”], true);}; :q:

Its the same old story, load the array parse the string and use there data where I want.:evil:

The asp file for this code is also different.  
It goes like this

&Name0=123&link0=song.mp3,desc0=wow&  
&Name0=123&link0=song1.mp3,desc0=neat&  
&Name0=123&link0=song2.mp3,desc0=o&

&numItems=3&

There is an extra “&” in every string but only 3 items show in the list box.

Any pointers would be much appreciated.
