ComboBox data load swf?

Using MX 2004

Trying to load movie onto level. Have full http path to movies as data in comboBox (ie [color=#005177]http://somewebsite.com/flash/movie1.swf[/color]) <not a real URL

Using the following:

on (change) {
trace(myComboBox.selectedItem.data);
loadMovieNum(myComboBox.selectedItem.data,2);
}

…on the comboBox. The paths to the swf’s work fine if you paste them into the loadmovie statement.

Can’t seem to get the variable to load the movie. I’ve tryed various incarnations of assigning the data to a variable, putting the variable in the first location in the loadmovie statment…no luck.

I’ve also taken various attempts at using quote marks ( " ") around the data and variable thinking it was a simple syntax error.

I’m stumped…anyone know of a way to use a comboBox to load a movie into a level using data from the combobox?

Thanks for any help, really appreciate it!
