Using the ComboBox Component

[phej]

I am working on a project where the user can click on a country (from a world map) and see if it has a missle defense system and other information about the it.

Some of the countries are so small, that I think the end user might have a problem clicking the right country, so I thought it would be cool to also include a ComboBox so that they can easily select the country they want to see.

I have all of the country names in the combobox as "labels" but how do I tell the combobox to load cuba.swf when they select cuba in the menu?

What version of Flash?

If need be, I can do it at home.

Essentially you just need to add data values to the combobox.

Search this forum on "combobox". There are a lot of good threads on the subject.

at its simplest in mx

countryCombo.setChangehandler("loadCountry");
function loadCountry(c){
countryCombo.loadScrollContent(c.getSelectedItem().label + ".swf");
}
