Combo Box Simple question.

[mitchrichie]

I have a combo box named "jacketSize" that is inside the movie clip called "jacketChoice_mc". I can see the initial setting of the combo box using the following line:

trace(_root.jacketChoice_mc.jacketSize.selectedIte m.label);

But when the user changes the selection the output box does not update.

What do I need to do so that whenever a user changes the selection of the combo box someting else happens using that new value?

For example. When the user chooses a size from the drop down combo box that size should be sent via PHP to a MYSQL database.

I'm just not sure how to work with getting the values out of the combo box.

Thanks.

You need to listen to the "change" event broadcast by the combobox instance, see here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/mx2004/main_7_2/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Flash_MX_2004&file=00002149.html .
