How do I make a link in a combo box? Pretend this is the box:

-Directory-  
Home  
Flash Movies  
Links  
About Me

I want it so that if I click Flash Movies, it will take me to that site. I just got Flash MX 5 days a go, and this is my best creation: [Click here!](http://www.boomspeed.com/psybur/spotishcow.swf)

> How do I get it so that the very first thing you see on it doesnt have a link.

I would suggest you add a ‘0’ as a value if you want it to not get a certain url and add the code below instead of the old one:

```php
listHandler = function(component) {
	value = component.getValue()
	if(value == 0){
	}else{
	getURL(value);
	}
}

```

yarden:

Well basicly you should edit the Labels and the data in the component property toolbox.

For Example:

Label: h88,kirupa,something-else  
Data: [www.h88.com](http://www.h88.com),[kirupa.com](http://kirupa.com), [somethingelse.com](http://somethingelse.com)
