**Hey Flasherz!**  
lol. I can’t seem to get my combobox to work right. _Let me paint the scenerio._  
I have my multidimensional array:

```auto
 nissan = [["altima","1984","2005"], ["maxima","1976","2005"] ];

```

Then I have my two comboboxes:

```auto
**model_cb** and
**year**

```

heres my AS:

```auto
 function setYearCombo() {
year.removeAll();
var subArray = model_cb.getSelectedItem().data;
begDate = subArray+'[1]';
endDate = subArray+'[2]';
for(i=begDate; i<endDate; i++){
year.addItem(i); }
}

```

when I do this my “year\_cb” displays \>\> nissan[0][1] or nissan[1][1] depending on if you choose altima or maxima.

So I’ve gotten it to do that much but now I need it to display the corresponding year for the part in the array i.e. plug in “1984” (nissan[0][1]) and populate the combobox through 2005 (nissan[0][2]).

when I use this code:

```auto
 for(i=nissan[0][1]; i<nissan[0][1]; i++){year.addItem(i); 

```

it does plug in my desired years although it is static with that (nissan[0]/altima) years.

Can anyone please help me out. Hopefully I’ve given enough info. My file is to big to include even after zipping. I have a feeling that its something simple or maybe I’m just hoping it is simple.

Any help is Greatly Appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
