ComboBox Help Needed 1

[nccmbc]

Hi Everyone,

I'm a total newbie, but I need to get the following comboBox tutorial working for Flash 8. I'm learning, but I need this working asap.

http://www.flash-mx.com/flash/combobox.cfm

Looks easy enough, except this paragraph is totally throughing me:

"The changeHandler parameter determines what function is called when the selected value of the "main_cb" comboBox has changed. We'll set this to "setSubCombo"."

Please Help!

when the user makes a selection from the combo box the function setSubCombo is called to determine what action ought to be taken

from a quick look at the tutorial the action is with what values a second combo box will be populated

I've got the two comboboxes working, but now I'm having trouble getting the user selection to go to the corresponding frame in the timeline. I'm completely clueless when it comes to this, but I just need this bit of code to work. Cheers!

stop();
//Place Main Topics Here:
mainArrLabel = ["Please Select a Category...", "Clean Samples", "Raw Wastewater", "Manufacturing", "Wastewater Treatment", "Industrial Water", "Unique Samples"];
mainArrData = ["", "cleanArray", "rawArray", "manufArray", "wasteArray", "industrialArray", "uniqueArray"];
for (var j = 0; j<mainArrLabel.length; j++) {
main_cb.addItem(mainArrLabel[j], mainArrData[j]);
}
myComboBoxListener = new Object();
myComboBoxListener.change = function(eventObj) {
var eventSource = eventObj.target;
var theSelectedItem = eventSource.selectedItem;
var theSelectedItemLabel = theSelectedItem.label;
var theSelectedItemValue = theSelectedItem.data;
var subArray = theSelectedItemValue;
setSubCombo(subArray);
};
main_cb.addEventListener("change", myComboBoxListener);

//Place Sub-Topics Here:

cleanArray = new Array("Please Select Your Application...", "Ultrapure Water", "Drinking Water", "River / Lake / Ground Water", "Sea Water", "Treated Raw Water");

//
function setSubCombo(arr) {
whichArr = this[arr];
sub_cb.removeAll();
for (var i = 0; i<whichArr.length; i++) {
sub_cb.addItem(whichArr, whichArr);
}
}
