flash data integration:
Hi

Im trying to get a rich internet app working and seem to be having problems
with a combobox, or maybe its to do with data.

I have online a small php/mysql directory that works fine as a stand alone.
http://www.voddie.com/Catalogue/flash/Catalogue_v1a.html

I know the data has reached the app because the combobox has the 'Please
select....'

Can any point me in the right direction to where i should begin to look for a
solution?

Thanks in advance

Voddie

Voddie, I posted a question today on the Flash Actionscript Forum titled
'Adding text to a List component' at 05:36:00AM. Frustrated at not having
received a response, I started to search other forums and came upon your Post
titled 'Combobox'. I opened your link to the stand-alone app you created...
beautiful... thats exactly what I'm trying to do, particularly the
interactivity between the Category > Business > Picture > Details components.
I've been using Flash 5 without any major problems - maybe because everything
has been developed on the timeline. However, components have been driving me up
the wall. Would you mind sharing your code with me? I wish I could help you
with your request. Much appreciated, thanks. Eddie (my email is:

Voddie: I can't tell how you are populating the comboBox, maybe from an XML
connector or DataSet, but I would trace out the array of elements from your
source to make sure the data really is there. It looks like you might only
have one element. Something like the following for a DataSet ...
while(myDataSet.hasNext()) { trace('item: '+myDataSet.currentItem);
myDataSet.next(); } James

I've run into a similar problem. None of my comboboxes work once I use
loadmovie to pull the swf into another flash file. The initial default data is
there however for all the components that I am using to display those pieces of
data. So I am sure that the data is getting pulled from my xml. At this point
I am at a bit of a loss as to what is causing the problem, other that it only
seems to heppen when it is pulled into the other movie. I could of course get
around this by placing it in it's own html file and calling that from the menu,
but am hoping to avoid that. I also made sure I had updated Flash thinking
maybe it was a problem with one of my components that had been addressed in 7.2
No luck with that so far.
