Ok I have a pretty simple flash form but what I need to do is have a drop down
(dropDownA) that has say three options... if option 1 is selected it will make
a certain field visable and required, but if option 2 or 3 is selected, it will
make a different field visable and required but hide and make the other fields
not required.

I tried some java script but I cannot get it to work.

Any help or places I can look?

Thanks!

ok I have somewhat figured this out...

I know how to change the visable property of a flash form object, though it is
very flaky... the label often stays visable...

Now what I am trying is I have a formgroup... type hbox, horizontal,
whatever... the <cfformgroup> tag has a visible setting but no name or id
setting so I can access this...

Does anyone know how to refrence a certain <cfformgroup> when using the
onChange command?

It seems that macromedia did not fully think this through. I am finding that
they do not use the same set of rules for all things which points to poor
develpment and will likely point to poor results on my end. Half of thier form
elements have a name attribute, others dont. Why include a visible or enabled
attribute and no way to dynamicly change them?

Am I missing something? its probably simple, but ANY help would be great!
