Please Help!

My XML file is fine, and my XML connector and fields work fine… ALMOST!

I have several nested arrays in my XML and use combo boxes.

When the swf executes, the initail values of all but the first combo box output as “undefined”

But when I select a new value from the first combo box, everything loads fine:

Selecting “Audio” from the list after selecting “Video” causes everything to load properly as well.

It’s just that initial load that’s not working…

Thank you!!!
