Hey people,

I have a dynamic text field that I want information displayed in depending on what the user selects in the combo box.

I know how to make the text field display the information if a button is pressed, but I do I do that same thing when a user makes a selection from the combo box.

Here’s what I have when a user clicks a button:  
[AS]on (release) {  
loadVarsText = new loadVars();  
loadVarsText.load(“blah blah blah”);  
loadVarsText.onLoad = function(success) {  
if (success) {  
trace(“done loading”);  
scroller.html = true;  
scroller.htmlText = this.textfield;  
} else {  
trace(“not loaded”);  
}  
};  
}[/AS]

HELP ME PLEASE

Okay basically I have two things, a dynamic text box with a scroller component attached to it and a combo box component.

when a user selects an item from the combo box, the correlating information to that item appears in the dynamic text field.

That dynamic information is being pulled from a url like; (this is just am example)

Understand or no? Don’t know how else I could explain this.
