Greetings!  First post.

I've been greping the web for an AS example of populating a parent
select box, and then dynamically changing a child select box through
an "onchange" event.  I've seen the observer approach, but not with
AS.  Is there support for such a thing?

I found this thread where this same question was asked.

The poor guy got a rather prickly response.  He eventually posted his
solution in the last msg of the thread.  Unfortunately, I can't get
that solution to work.  The example [in plain English] was, "Surveys
have many survey_questions and surveys have_many survey_options."  If
options are meant to be answers to questions, then it should be
"Surveys have many questions.  Questions have many options [multiple
choice]."   That would be three levels.  I tried looking at the
survey_options table as some type of join with both foreign keys
[survey_id, survey_question_id].  If that were the case, then survey
"has many questions through survey_options."  That wasn't listed in
the example.  Clearly, I'm confused somewhere.

I would appreciate it if someone could explain the example referenced
in the last message of the thread linked to above.  Alternatively. I
would appreciate a clear example of this pattern.  I think that this
is a common situation where some documentation would benefit many
people.

Thanks! Paul
