I am trying to create an application that uses several ComboBoxes for users to
rate different topics in a range of Low to High.
I will save and store the user's selection in an XML file. The user's do this
excericise once a quarter/month (or regular basis) and the application will
recieve an XML file with the user's last selected value. So the XML file will
be in a form similar to this:
<topic>
<user>
<id>1</>
<var1>Low</var1>
<var2>High</var2>
<var3>Medium</var3>
<var4>Low-Medium</var4>
<var5>Medium-High</var5>
</user>
<user>
<id>2</>
<var1>Low</var1>
<var2>High</var2>
<var3>Medium</var3>
<var4>Low-Medium</var4>
<var5>Medium-High</var5>
</user>
</topic>
the shape of the incoming XML (shape above) can not be changed. The XML file
can obviously be manipulated in AS/Flex.
Anyway, what i would like is to have each ComboBox show the value in the XML
file above at startup/default/initializaton but when clicking show all other
possible values from Low to High, so that the user may change his rating of
that particular variable. These values do not exist in the XML above that is
receieved so i would need to have some way of adding them to the XML file or
use a different XML file as the ComboBox dataprovider and extract the
selectedIndex value based on the XML above or somethign like that. Anyway it
wasn't clear to me how to do this and any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you
