You would need to iterate through each item and add it to the combo box.
Here's an example of how to populate a combo box from an array:
// Considering we had array populated with Labels
// which we use for the Values as well
for (i = 0; i < myArray.length){
comboBoxInstance.addItem(myArray[i],myArray[i]);
}
The syntax for the addItem() function is:
comboBox.addItem(label,data);
Also, Using loadVars() might be a little to exhaustive. Have you looked at
LoadXML.as by Phil Scott? It is a great tool that will allow you to turn an
XML structre into an object, which makes data parsing a breeze. You can get
LoadXML.as from:

Hope this helps!

We prob need a CF-flashTalk list, but in the meantime I am just now
beginning my journey into dynamic content in flash, and was wondering if
someone had an idea of how to populate a combo box from a query...
I have this so far, please help.
Query
<CFQUERY DATASOURCE="carnivore" NAME="mfg_list">
SELECT *
FROM mfg
</CFQUERY>
<CFSET myList = ValueList(mfg_list.mfgid,",")>
<CFOUTPUT>&mfg=#myList#</CFOUTPUT>
Flash
Button action
on (release) {
loadVariablesNum("http://www.carnivorepc.com/console/qry/qry_mfg_list.cfm";,
0, "GET");
mfgList.addItem(mfg);
}
"Success is a journey, not a destination!!"
