list box event problem

[erika]

Hi everyone,

I've taken an existing code from this forum for defining a list box component because I have no idea of how I would write one from scratch myself. Sorry! I'm in the process of learning.

Problem: I have pasted the code below. Instead of making each selection open a text file with the same name as the array, I would like each selection to make a text box appear (with different x & y coordinates). I guess the text box would have the same name as each array in the instance name right?

I hope that some actionscripter can help me out as I would really appreciate it while I'm still learning.

Thanks
