I am trying to use several combo boxes in a document. I’ve modified code from page 208 of Foundation Flash 8 Video book, so instead of having a combobox play video, it goes to an URL. I put the Combobox component on the stage, gave it an instance name of 2dCirList, and put links like [http://www.ca2.uscourts.gov](http://www.ca2.uscourts.gov) in Data. Then I put the following code in Frame 1 of the actions layer:

function GetURL():Void{  
getURL(2dCirList.data[2dCirList.selectedIndex])  
}

var 2dCirListenerObject:Object = new Object ();  
2dCirListenerObject.change = function (eventObject:Object):Void{  
GetURL();  
}

2dCirList.addEventListener (“change”, 2dCirListObject);  
GetURL();

The list drops down, but when you select an item, it goes nowhere.

I’ve been trying different combinations of things for 2 days now. Can anyone give me any ideas? Its probably a " or something, but I’m tapped out.
