flash actionscript : Drop down options in flash form

I was wondering if there is a way to incorporate drop down menu's with a form
and the user can choose from the menu what they wish and it will imput that
info in the text box. I.e.--if a form asked for state and the drop down listed
the states, the user scrolls down to Delaware(the best state in the country--i
wouldn't really know) and Delaware would show in the imput text box. Obviously,
this info would need to be sent with the other info.

any suggestions?

thanks,

hey Hutch--

Can it be done? Sure it can. But why would you want to? If they select a state
int he drop down, that's their selection, just send that data with th erest of
your form, why reprint it in another text box?

I guess if you were trying to show what a mailing label would look like or a
biz card or somehting like that, then OK, but there's no need to duplicate the
data somewhere else to send it.

That being said, you need to look into chage event that the combo box uses.
See Live Docs here:

Good luck!

well, I used the states as an example, there's going to be choices of price ranges of homes in the drop down.

But, thank you.
