Listbox UI Component values are undefined

[draigGoch]

Hello, just started using these components, and when populating a listbox, if it doesn't fill the row-height of the listbox, it displays "undefined".

I use:
_root.ffenestr2.mListPages.strListPagesText0.removeAll();

first then use the addItem() method, but to no avail.
HELP!!!!

hard to say from the question what is wrong

i take it that the instance name of the listbox is strListPagesText0 and that its embedded in some movieclps

best if you ask the question again and supply more code and detail

hi, sorry I know that I was a bit vague, but i didn't want to bog you down with this code!!!!

Here we go, this is the code that generates list elements:

_root.ffenestr1.container1.navList.onRelease = function() {
_root.ffenestr2.gotoAndPlay(2);
_root.g_ListExams=0;
setProperty(_level0.mListExams,_visible,'0');
_root.g_ListKeywords=0;
setProperty(_root.mListKeywords,_visible,'0');
_root.g_listAnims=0;
setProperty(_root.mAnimlinks,_visible,'0');
_root.g_listQuestions=0;
setProperty(_level0.mListQuestions,_visible,'0');
g_ListQuiz=0;
setProperty(_root.mListQuiz,_visible,'0');
_root.g_list_pages=1;
setProperty(_level0.ffenestr2.mListPages,_visible,'1');
_root.ffenestr2.container2.mListPages.strListPagesText0.setAutoHideScrollBar(true);
arrPageList = _root.getChildrenByTagName(_root.directMenuXML, 'node');
if (_root.varDirectMenu=='directMenuE'){
paIndecs=0;
}else{
paIndecs=1;
}
var strPageTitles='';
_root.ffenestr2.container2.mListPages.strListPagesText0.removeAll();
//trace (_root.currentUnit.childNodes.length);
for (i=0;i<_root.currentUnit.childNodes.length;i++){

if (_root.currentUnit.childNodes.childNodes[paIndecs].childNodes[0].nodeName=='title'){
trace (i);
tempString=''+_root.currentUnit.childNodes.childNodes[paIndecs].childNodes[0].childNodes[0];
// trace(tempString.indexOf("&apos;"))
if (tempString.indexOf("&apos;")>=0){
x=tempString.split("&apos;");
// trace(x[0]+String.fromCharCode(96)+x[1]);
tempString=x[0]+String.fromCharCode(96)+x[1];
}else{
// trace('['+tempstring+']');
}
if (tempString.length>30){
_root.ffenestr2.container2.mListPages.strListPagesText0.addItem((i+1)+'. '+tempString.slice(0,30)+'...',i+1);
}else{
_root.ffenestr2.container2.mListPages.strListPagesText0.addItem((i+1)+'. '+tempString,i+1);
}
}
}
}


And the address of the instance is _root.ffenestr2.container2.mListPages.strListPagesText0

I can write into the listbox ok, but if I don't "fill" it, it shows up the empty lines with undefined.

Found out what the prob was - copying listboxes from mx to mx2004.
