Hi All,

I am creating a form type of Order Page in Flash with AS. Here I am having a problem while I am using two multiple comboboxes. Let me explain clearly about my problem,

Here there are more than two comboboxes are used. First one is to Bind the Car Name(say example). If I choose one particular Car name I need to Bind the Years for that particular CarName to the another Dropdown. If I choose the Year of the Car then I need to Bind model Number to the other Combobox. This is my requirement. I have successfully binded the Car Name from XML. But I cant get the corresponding Year and Other those things. below I have given the XML and Script.

[COLOR=“Red”]AS Code:[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=“DarkSlateBlue”]  
cmbYear.enabled = false;  
var carname;  
var childlength ;  
var nodeval;  
carXML = new XML();  
carXML.ignoreWhite = true;  
carXML.onLoad=function()  
{

```
     var props=this.childNodes[0].attributes;
	 info = this.childNodes[0].childNodes; 
	for (var i=0; i&lt;info.length; i++) { 
		carname = carXML.firstChild.childNodes*.attributes.carname;
		childlength = carXML.firstChild.childNodes*.childNodes.length;
		trace("CarName :: "+childlength +" "+i);
		cmbCarname.addItem({label:carname, data:i} );			
		// Add Listener.
		cmbCarname.addEventListener("change", cbListener);
	}

```

}  
carXML.load(“test.xml”);  
// Create Listener Object.  
var cbListener:Object = new Object();   
// Assign function to Listener Object.  
cbListener.change = function(event\_obj:Object) {   
nodeval = event\_obj.target.selectedItem.data;  
trace(“childlength”+childlength);  
for (var j=0; j \< nodeval; j++) {

```
			        trace("CAR YEAR "+carXML.firstChild.childNodes[nodeval].childNodes[j]);
				  caryear = carXML.firstChild.childNodes[j].childNodes[j].attributes.caryear;
				 //trace("loadXML::"+caryear); 
				// FOR ITEMS
				//caryear = carXML.firstChild.childNodes[nodeval].childNodes*.childNodes;
				cmbYear.addItem( {label:carname, data:i} ); 
				}
			 
		};[/COLOR]
