hello All,

i have a falsh application that enables movieclips when they are run over depending on whether some values are equivalent to that in a combobox. i have stored some values in an xml file which the movie clips rely on.

the problem i am facing now is that when i trace the contents of the xmlnodes in the on(change) event handler of the combo box it traces undefined. this is what i traced:

trace(nums[0].childNodes[0].firstChild)

var nums:Array = newsXML.firstChild.childNodes;

nums is the array that contains the xmlnodes.

how can i get access to nums in the on(change) event handler for the combo box?

please help

thanx
