if any one can help me with this problem I would be so grateful as Ive been stuck on it for over a week now ....
basically i want the user to select a file from a drop down box and then this will then pass the file name to the player which takes in filename as one its parameters...
i know the update needs to assigned to an onChange() handler but i dont know how to access the <objects> parameters....
heres my code.. ive tried writing a function which returns the string in the drop down box but i dont know how to pass it to the the objects parameters...
