combo box? (MX)

[salud]

I have a movie with different layers and two of them are for combo box and labels, how can I use gotoAndPlay for specific frame according to a combo box selection: see example:

label layer:

contact1 (frame 5) contact2 (frame 10)

combo box:

option 0 select one
option 1 contact1
option 2 contact2


thanks,

let's say your combobox instance name is mybox

put this on your action layer , on frame 1 :

function myonchange(component){
	if (component._name=="mybox"){

		switch (component.getValue()){
			case 1 : _root.gotoAndPlay("contact1");
			break;
			case 2 : _root.gotoAndPlay("contact2");
			break;
		}
	}
}

mybox.setChangeHandler("myonchange");

stop();

hope this helps

*saw file*

in the properties/parameters of your combo box, you must not only fill up the labels field

[select one, contact1, contact2]

but also the data field
with :

[0,1,2]

this way each label goes with a value, just like the select box in html.

now it should work

Hey Leblob,

It did not work intirelly :-( Please check the file to see what's going on

* If you select contact 1 nothing happens but if you select contact 2 it will take you to contact1 in a weird way (the combo box disapears for a second)

Thanks,

of course it does not work, you changed my code!

now your code is better, cause simpler, but if you want it to work, you must replace the

[0,1,2]

in the data properties of your combobox with :

[0,contact1,contact2]

because if you dont , if you choose contact1 it will send you to frame 1, and if you choose contact2 it will send you to frame 2.

and now it works (at least for me)

You were right... Now works just fine
