If you need WinRar to unzip this file you may download it from here:

If for some reason you feel unsafe downloading from my website you may download WinRar from the officail WinRar site at:

Now the file worked.

I have looked at your file and I got it to work.

First you need to namn the combobox instance to something (for now "combo")

Then you have to replace the onSelect1 in the if loop with combo.getSelectedItem().lable

if you want to have a diffirent value then the label you just ad it to the data option.
and then you use lista.getSelectedItem().data

Example:
the lable of option no. 3 can be Counter-Strike MOD 1.5 Upgrade
but the valu (data) can be sett to 3 or anything else.

There might be a way to use onSelect1 but I don´t know how.


I hope this have helped you!

Hi...

This isn't going to be the way you want to do...
I haven't used MX at all and I am just testing how MX acts with the components... Well... anyways... this is the simplified one you can take a look at... I don't know what is the right way to do the combobox in MX though...

I thought about one thing more...

You don´t have to replace every onSelect1 with combo.getSelectedItem().label

Instead write onSelect1=combo.getSelectedItem().label before the if loop starts.


Good luck!
