Re: [Flashcoders] [AS2] Set the default value of a ComboBox
Thanks Jonathan, Sorted the problem basically i had to use this code...
function setValue (pValue:String):Void
{
for (var i:Number = 0; i < comboBox.length; i++)
{
if (comboBox.getItemAt(i).data == pValue)
{
comboBox.selectedIndex = i;
break;
}
}
}
setValue ("MyVariable");
Regards

Hi Guys, happy new year to you all!
I have a combobox added to the stage in the flash IDE and it is populated
via Actionscript 2 from an external XML file. The trouble is I want to
automatically select a label in the combobox rather than showing the
first
label which is the current default.
I populate my combobox like this:
combobox1.addItem({data:"data1", label:"lable1"});
combobox1.addItem({data:"data2", label:"lable2"});
Now I have a combobox with 2 labels, label1 and label2. I want label2 to
display as the default instead of label1, now I understand I could do:
combobox1.selectedIndex = 1;
but I actually want to loop through the combobox labels and match if
label2
= label2 then select that index, so is there any way I can read the
labels /
data of a combobox? I have tried combobox1.data and combobox1.labels, but
it
just returns undefined?
Thanks in advance

[Flashcoders] [AS2] Set the default value of a ComboBox
Hi Guys, happy new year to you all!
I have a combobox added to the stage in the flash IDE and it is
populated via Actionscript 2 from an external XML file. The trouble is I
want to automatically select a label in the combobox rather than showing
the first label which is the current default.
I populate my combobox like this:
combobox1.addItem({data:"data1", label:"lable1"});
combobox1.addItem({data:"data2", label:"lable2"});
Now I have a combobox with 2 labels, label1 and label2. I want label2 to
display as the default instead of label1, now I understand I could do:
combobox1.selectedIndex = 1;
but I actually want to loop through the combobox labels and match if
label2 = label2 then select that index, so is there any way I can read
the labels / data of a combobox? I have tried combobox1.data and
combobox1.labels, but it just returns undefined?
Thanks in advance
