Hi,
Chris Brimelow created a file with Dynamic Dropdowns with external XML.
The code:
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("autos.xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, getXML);
makes.prompt = "Select a make";
var xml:XML;
var makeArr:Array = new Array();
var modelArr:Array = new Array();
makes.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, getModels);
models.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, getResult);
function getXML(e:Event):void
{
xml = new XML(e.target.data);
var il:XMLList = xml.auto;
var ml:XMLList = xml.auto.model;
for(var i:uint=0;i<il.length();i++)
{
makeArr* = new Array(il.@name*,il.@id*);
modelArr* = new Array(il.@id*);
for(var x:uint=0;x<il*.model.length();x++)
{
modelArr*.push(il*.model[x]);
}
}
getMakes();
}
function getMakes():void
{
for(var i:uint=0;i<makeArr.length;i++)
{
makes.addItem({label:makeArr*[0],data:makeArr*[1]});
}
}
function getModels(e:Event):void
{
models.removeAll();
models.prompt = "Select a model";
var theMakeID:Number = makes.selectedItem.data;
for(var i:uint=0;i<modelArr.length;i++)
{
if(modelArr*[0]==theMakeID)
{
for(var x:uint=1;x<modelArr*.length;x++)
{
models.addItem({label:modelArr*[x],data:modelArr*[x]});
}
}
}
}
function getResult(e:Event):void
{
result_mc.text = "You have selected the " + makes.selectedItem.label + " " + models.selectedItem.label + "!";
}
If I change the result_mc.text to show makes.selectedItem.data instead of label it works fine. But it doesnt work on models.selectedItem.data, then it just show the models label-name.
Please anyone have any idea what to change to get data from models?
(I need the data for url-link after you choosed model.)
Here’s links to the fla and xml,

http://chrisbrimelow.com/blog/autos.xml
and remember the code is from http://chrisbrimelow.com/blog/?p=18.
Thank you
ps. xml looks like this:
