Actions from items of ComboBox

[leandrosalem]

I created a ComboBox with the following labels. [car,house,ball] .
I want getURL when the item ball is selected. I wrote this code:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if(mycombobox.getSelectedItem().label = ball ); {
getURL("www.flashkit.com", "_blank");
}
}

When i test the movie,it's opening continuosly a new window automatically,without the click. it almost crashed my compu

There are 2 problems in your code:

Your test:

if(mycombobox.getSelectedItem().label [b]=[/b] ball )[b];[/b] {

You're assigning, not testing, and you have to remove the semi colon.

if(mycombobox.getSelectedItem().label == "ball" ) {

Then you shouldn't test the value of the selected item onEnterFrame. It's better to do it only when the user selects one of the items, right?

So you have to create your own function and assign it to the component. Something like

function goThere(c){
    var i=c.getSelectedItem().label;
    if (i=="ball") {getURL("http://www.flashkit.com","_blank");}
}

mycombobox.setChangeHandler("goThere");

This is untested, but that's how it works. I'm sure there's a tute on this site explaining it better than I did.
