listBox + php question

programming flash
1

Hey guys…lame question here, but I’ve been away from flash for a while:

I have an order form that sends its vars to a php file which formats the data and then mails it to an address. All my text inputs work fine and show up in the email… however I am using a list box component and cannot seem to get its value set to a var and then sent to the php.

here is the AS I am using (for the submit button), very simple:


on (release) {
	jumpType.getSelectedItem = "jumpType";
	if (name eq "" or address eq "" or city eq "" or phone eq "" or rentalDate eq "") {
		gotoAndStop(2);
	} else {
		
		loadVariablesNum("order.php", 0, "POST");
		gotoAndStop(3);
	}
}

the instance name for the listBox is “jumpType” and I would like toget the item selected by the user assign it to a var “jumpType” which would be sent to my php script… please show me what I am doing wrong – I know it is something simple.

Peace

Maybe Kirupa’s listbox tutorial will be of some assistance.

ok I’ve changed the code and now it is returning a value in the formatted email, BUT it is returning this:

“[object Object]”

here is the new code I am using:

on (release) {
	var jumpType= jumpType.getSelectedItem();
	if (name eq "" or address eq "" or city eq "" or phone eq "" or rentalDate eq "") {
		gotoAndStop(2);
	} else {
		
		loadVariablesNum("order.php", 0, "POST");
		gotoAndStop(3);
	}
}

got it… I just needed to use this line instead:

var jumpType = jumpType.getValue();

Peace
