Hey, I wonderd if it was possible to do so when clicking on one of the options in the ComboBox, it could load an .swf into an container?
Maybe with:
Code:
container.loadMovie(“sound.swf”);
Or something…
Thanks,
fatnslow

if you’re using mx2004, this is the way to go:
use this code on your combobox:
```auto
on (change) {
_root.container.loadMovie(this.value);
}
```
I assume you store the swf names as values in the combobox.

Cant find it there. Could anyone with mx help me here?
I could also use a GO button, first use the combobox to get the correct label, and then press a GO button, wich loads it. But im not good at As, so could anyone help?
Thanks,
fatnslow

for mx2004, you no longer use change handlers, but listeners. Look up component listeners in the help section of the program…it expains it all. 🙂
