Hello Everyone. A semi-intermediate Flash MX user here. I’m trying to catch up with you guys out there that are just bad ass in Flash. By the way, much respect to you guys for hooking everyone up with info on Flash. Hoping you can help me as well.

I’m confused of how to assign an external url to a specific list box or combo box to each specific label. I checked out a few postings on here about it, but they are mainly related to using it with php or xml. I just want to load a regular new window link.

Please help me.

the pic showed how to enter paramaters for individual links in the list box component. pretty common knowledge, but this guy just needed a shove in the right direction.

whats about the change handler…the only reason why I’m asking is because I can’t get it to work.

I think I might have the wrong Change Handler.

actually it was suppose to be set at getURL. I got that to work. But here’s the thing. How about setting the new link to open a new window?

:cyclops: thanks…

use the window drop down menu to select ‘\_blank’ or type it in the box.

see the pic attachment…
