Flash Form Dependencies

[karossii]

I wish to have a multi-tiered form which displays different options/questions based on combo box selections. For example, on question 2, I wish to have a simple combo box with 3 items in it. Each item displays a separate sub-question below the combo box.

I thought to simply have a 4 frame mc loaded below the combo box, with frame 1 being blank, and each frame displaying the sub questions; then depending on the state of the combo box this mc is directed to the appropriate frame.

I also thought to dynamically create the question in the same parent as the combo box, pulling XML data into the sub-question based on the data currently selected in the combo box.

However, I am having a heck of a time pulling the data from the combo box, and can't even begin to get either method to work! I've read through adobe's help, searched online, and thought I found an answer a dozen times thus far, and nothing has worked!

I am also open to other methods of doing this... if anyone has any suggestions, or can point me to any existing tutorials I have missed, etc., I would greatly appreciate it!

edit: I am using Flash CS3, and have tried both AS2 and AS3 with no luck in either. I am beginner to intermediate with AS2, and total beginner with AS3.
