Hey guys.  
Been tasked to create a site with a dropdown box with links to other pages using a combobox. I have not yet got up to speed with AS3 ( wow, it’s gonna take me some studying ). So for the meantime I am using what I know.  
Anyhow I found geat code from lunatic here:  
[http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthre…t=combobox+url](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=56324&highlight=combobox+url)  
all works fine except for the fact that clicking on any of the boxes on the combobox does nothing where it should be going to a url.

I scoured kirupa, I scoured my training cds and googled it, I can’t find a solution except for an AS3 one.

Any help would be so greatly appreciated!

Cheers!
