Hi  
I am trying to do this without much luck:

when the user makes a selection on a comboBox, a movie clip from the library plays, but I can’t seem to find the right solution. Can anyone please point me in the right direction?

Here’s the actionscripting on the comboBox I’ve tried so far:  
Code:  
on (change) { this.mcHolder.attachMovie(comboBox.value); }  
Also, i want to note that the linkage names of the movieClips match the comboBox labels.

Thank You in advance for any help or advice
