**[font=Times New Roman][size=3]Supposable this is how you link two combo boxes together-[/size][/font]**

Open a new movie. Put two combobox (instance names myCars and myColors) on stage. Put this code on first frame of timeline:

cars = [“Ford”, “Fiat”, “Mazda”];  
Ford = [“green”, “yellow”, “black”];  
Fiat = [“red”, “white”, “orange”];  
Mazda = [“black”, “white”, “purple”]

myCars.setDataProvider(cars);  
myColors.setDataProvider(ford);

function setColors(comp){  
var choice = comp.getSelectedItem().label;  
myColors.setDataProvider(eval(choice))  
}

Select myCars combobox, in the property inspector -\> changeHandler, write setColors. That’s it
