[flexcoders] ComboBox URLs

[danj520]

I hope someone can help. I have a ComboBox that has a list of options.
When an option is selected, I would like a corresponding XML file to
be loaded. I assume I have to declare a string variable to assign the
URL.   The ComboBox dataProvider is hard-coded with an mx:Array, but
I'm stuck on how to assign the URL from the option selected. I
appreciate any help I can get. I'm familiar with how to load the data
with HTTPService. Thanks in advance...

Assuming you know the mapping of combobox items to URLs, you can
populate the array as follows:

 

mx:Array

mx:Object label=choice 1 url=http://a.b.com/url1;  /

mx:Object label=choice 2 url=http://a.b.com/url2;  /

mx:Object label=choice 3 url=http://a.b.com/url3; /

/mx:Array

 

The combo box will display choice 1, choice 2, or choice3.  When
an option is selected, selectedItem.url is the url.
