How to link a Combo Box to different Scenes

[giuliand]

Hi,
I am new to using flash mx 2004. i have never really used flash but i am going through tutorials and learning alot this way. one thing i have been searching for and would really appreciate your help is linking combo boxes.

What I would like to do is be able to have a user select a field in the combo box and once this is done the scene changes.

For example in my flash tutorial i would like users to be able to select either pizza, pasta, cakes and from what ever one the user choices the scene will be different and match the selection (e.g. pizza scene, pasta scene, cake scene).

Would really appreciate if you could explain how to do this or the code required.

Thanks in Advance,
GD

Example if combobox is named myCombo:

myListener = new Object();
myListener.change = function(component){
   comboSelection = component.target.value;//.label will give you the label instead of the data

   if(comboSelection == "Fruit"){
      gotoAndPlay("Scene2",1);
   }
}

myCombo.addEventListener("change",myListener);

Hope it helps.

Wow JT that almost looked like you knew what you were doing!
