[SIZE=2][COLOR=Teal]I’m completely newborn babe to flash, and i have been trying to teach myself through various tutorials.

One feature I’m trying to add to a site I’m (trying) to make is a listbox. I followed the tutorial to get the general idea, however I want to change it (like many others who post their questions on here).

I admit I have difficulty learning from just reading and get confused easily, so if someone could help me out with very clear and simple steps like a walkthrough, it would be VERY much appreciated. Even if someone has to walk me through via IM, i don’t care, i just really need help. It’s an important website for someone I know.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Purple]I would like my listbox to contain dates, and when the person clicks the date, the time and place appears in the textbox. At the same time I would like it to be skinned to match the rest of my site (and other components like a form, which i have not yet created either haha).

Also, to make it for easier updating, is it possible to have the list of dates linked to a txt file so all i have to do is add some new dates to that file so it appears in the listbox?

Thank you SOOOO MUCH to anyone who can help me.[/COLOR][/SIZE]
