hi all!

Could someone show me how to make a listbox… like the list component in flash… BUT i don’t want to use it… I want to make my own one so i know how it works…

Using php… and MySQL i’ve got this list.

```php
Apple
Banana
Pear
Death Ninja Sword

```

And Flash sucks it in and reads it… Yep… fine there… Now… Now do i make a list box take that info and make it into a selectable list… so… if i press “Apple”… it traces “Apple”?

Anyone know?

Thanks!
