All I want to do is get the value associated..

Question

All I want to do is get the value associated with a dropdown item...
1. I have a combo box
2. It has text values that you can click
3. The text values have export values associated with it
4. When I click a text value from the list, I want to get the numeric value associated with it
Example combo box:
"Orange" has the export value of "1234"
When I click "orange" I want to get the export value "1234" and alert it to the screen
I'm using javascript, here's what I have so far:
In the combo box properties I have the following validation script:
theFruitClicked();
I have a function in the document javascript:
function theFruitClicked()
     app.alert(event.value);
This is alerting the text value not the export value.
What else should I do to get the export value?
Thank You.
