Dropdown select box or scolling selection

[evan]

This is the script that I am trying to work with

"myList" is the instance name of the box

myList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, itemChange)

function itemChange(e:Event):void
{
trace(myList.selectedItem.label);

}

-that works


what I need to know is what syntax to use for choosing a specific item because I want to trigger an event after a selection

[Medyman]

I don't see a question in there. Are you asking how to create one from scratch? Instead of the CS3 Combobox component?

[evan]

I needed to know which component to use thanks -got 90% --see above to clarify my question better

This link gives an intro to how to use it.


Here is an as2 tutorial

Any ideas about how to set conditions or trigger different functions based on selections in AS3?

THE ANSWER IS BELOW

[evan]

This is the AS 3 version

with this I am navigating inside a movieclip and returning a response using "trace".

var State:String;
myList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, itemChange)

function itemChange(e:Event):void
{


//this works
//trace(myList.selectedItem.label);

//this works
//trace(myList.selectedItem);

//this works
State=(myList.selectedItem.label);
trace (State);

if(State=="Chicago"){trace("you are cool");testobject_mc.gotoAndStop(3);}
else{trace("you are not from Chicago");testobject_mc.gotoAndStop(1);}
