i have a problem with my combobox

code:

var images = xmlNode.childNodes\*.childNodes[3].childNodes.length ;  
for (img=0; img\<images; img++) {  
Name= “image” + img;  
imageloc = xmlNode.childNodes\*.childNodes[3].childNodes[img].firstChild.nodeValue;

list.addItem({label:Name, data:imageloc});  
[//dropDown.setChangeHandler](https://dropDown.setChangeHandler)(“SelectItem”);  
trace (Name);  
trace (imageloc);  
dropDown.addItem(Name, imageloc );

}  
dropDown.setChangeHandler(“SelectItem”);

function SelectItem(){  
imageloc2 = ( dropDown.getSelectedItem().data);  
\_root.imagearea.loadMovie(imageloc2, 1);  
}

what have i done wrong? it loads the names perfectly …  
my guess its the data where it goes wrong

but it doesnt seem to recognise the  
dropDown.setChangeHandler(“SelectItem”);

or it wont call the function

please help me out.
