Loading variables from combo box

[isolatedace]

Hi, I wanted to know how to load variables from combo box, I already set the labels, but I have no idea how to load the data from the labels in order for it to communicate with the php file.

//combo_box is the instance name of the combo box
var variables:String = combo_box.value;

no i would have a submit button.
put it within the function that is started once the submit button is pressed

The whole thing in a nut shell is that im really trying hard to recreate the form (http://www.inxmodels.com/modelform.html) in flash 8 using the components. Where im getting stuck is loading the varaibles from the components in flash 8. I have the php file down but its just the flash and the actionscript that having problems with as far as the TextInput component, combo box component, and file uploading in flash 8. I created the entire form in HTML and PHP, but i just want to switch it over.

u define the variable for the text box in the text box properties. open up the properties panel and the box next to the label "var" put the name of the variable that you want the text to be stored in
