How to se up Component Parameters? 1

[Jennyucf]

Hi, there

I plan to insert a drop-down menu using ComBox listed under UI components. But I had hard time configuring it. I read the help file built in Flash, and still didn't get anywhere..

Would you help with it?

Thanks!!

Sure! What would this menu do?

It's basically all in the Change Handler function...

Going for my daily bicyle ride, will check in on my return.

Meanwhile you might want to have a look at these. They could possibly get you on the right track...

Hi, thanks for your source code! I looked at them and got a general idea of how it works. It was helpful.
I want to have the menus jumps to the designated frame, which contains a movie clip. What would be the function name?

Thank you!

You can use the first example almost as is, it already uses frame labels. It would work the same if all frame labels were in the same scene. You can change the function's name to changeFrame or whatever suits you, as long as you set the same name in the Change Handler box in the combo's properties.

Oh, I see. So the name in the "Change Handler" actually is defined by ourselves! That is great! Thanks a lot!!!
