Combobox help

Why when I use the combobox component does it remove focus
from other movieclips?? For instance...I have a button with
onRollOver and onRollOut functions. These work fine, but once I
click on a combobox, they break...and won't work.
I've looked in other places but I haven't found a fix for
this yet. Doing setfocus(this) only puts a ugly yellow highlight
box around my button, and then kills the swf with an infinite loop.
Any ideas?

Your question is very vague and badly phrased. Why don't you post some code to show what you've done and how you're inserting values into the DB right now?

Autocomplete ComboBox, Help/ideas!?

Hi,
I have to provide a auto-complete ComboBox, and I am looking for a solution.
The use case:
I have a collection of country objects, containing the ISO country code.
However, I don't display the code, but rather the full country (Locale.getDisplayCountry()).
I use a cellFactory for the drop down listview and a StringConverter for the TextBox.
I want the user to be able to type e.g. "US" in the text box and the box should automatically select the US country object in the valueProperty.
If I type only "U", I want the control only to suggest countries in the list view, whose country code starts with "U".
I started with the ComboBox control in 2.1, but I am stuck.
I can't access the text box or a key event, which I could use.
Any help or ideas? Or maybe should I use ComboBoxBase?

How do you incorporate an ArrayList inside a ComboBox (GUI Project Help)?

Basically, I created a project around NBA Greats of Our Past. There is around 76 players so rather than typing all of them up in JCreator, how can you use an Arraylist to make things easier. I already created the spreadsheet on Excel with all the names. But the problem is that I don't know how to use them inside my ComboBox.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class ComboBoxDemo extends JFrame {
     private String[] nbaGreats = {"Michael Jordan"};
     private ImageIcon[] nbaImage = {
          new ImageIcon("H:/jordan.jpeg")
     private String[] nbaDescription = new String[1];
     private DescriptionPanel descriptionPanel = new DescriptionPanel();
     private JComboBox jcbo = new JComboBox(nbaGreats);
     public static void main(String[] args)
          ComboBoxDemo frame = new ComboBoxDemo();
          frame.pack();
          frame.setTitle("NBA Greats");
          frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          frame.setVisible(true);
     public ComboBoxDemo() {
          nbaDescription[0] = "(Included Yet, Description not Included Yet";
          setDisplay(0);
          add(jcbo, BorderLayout.NORTH);
          add(descriptionPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
          jcbo.addItemListener(new ItemListener() {
               public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e) {
                    setDisplay(jcbo.getSelectedIndex());
     public void setDisplay(int index) {
          descriptionPanel.setTitle(nbaGreats[index]);
          descriptionPanel.setImageIcon(nbaImage[index]);
          descriptionPanel.setDescription(nbaDescription[index]);

Its a working example. The tutorial examplains the code in steps.
Any code we give you will be no different.
but it doesn't really help me because I don't understand itIf you have a specific question about the code from the demo then maybe we can help you, but "I don't understand it" is not a question.

Help!!!!!!! Extract data from a database to put it in a combobox

hello

Help wth combobox scrollbar color

I'm using Flash 8 and actionscript.
How do I customize the combobox scrollbar? I've managed to
change other parts of the combobox but not the combobox scrollbar.
It would be really cool if I could change the combobox
scrollbar track color and slider grip thing . . .
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Peace,
Hondo311
Here's my actionscript for the combobox:

scrollTrackColor is a property of the ScrollPane and should
work, just the same way you already did.
But not everything is customizable with styles. For many
things you have to edit the skins.
The documentation for components could be much better...
here is how to edit the skin of the scrollpane:

Please help! How to add a combobox on a jtable

Hi, I have seen on google and here many codes to add a combobox in a jtable but none of them seem to work, I need the urgently.
My problem is that I must add a comboBox or a JComboBox to a cell inside a JTable on a predefined column. It means that on the column 2 I must add diferent comboboxes for eac row. How can I do it, please help.

The celleditor is the component shown and the cellrenderer is the first render of a component in the cell and dont have to be the same jcombo box?
The code on ther post does this:?
returning a diferent combobox for all the cells on the column depending on the row selected, but as long as only one cell can be selected at a time it seems to hace different jcomboboxes added a time?
Is there anyway to render any combobox with different values, my program must let the user chose the teacher it want to teach a definen subject, so the combo must have the teacher of a subject loaded on a database, the combos are not constants. I guess I can manage to use the way you showed me, but is there anyway to render a combo just by adding it to a cell! maybe doing changes to the tablemodel or things like that?

AIR Window cannot contain MenuBar's or ComboBox's (popups)? HELP!

Hello all,
Trying to use an AIR Window instance to show some content. Apparently, an AIR window cannot display pop-up content. In trying to add a child menubar (mx.controls.MenuBar instance) to the window, the menuBar simply fails to be displayed. Checking the parent, etc, shows that the menuBar IS the child of the window, it is visible, and has dimensions that should be shown. It simply does not show up in the window. Also, a combo-box is messed up. The button to drop-down the list does not appear, and so i can't get the drop-down box to show up. Why? This is madness.
I suppose i might use a nativeMenu for the Window (assuming/hoping it will work) rather than the flex MenuBar, but what about ComboBox's. Can't use a combo-box in the window? Now wondering how other content may have problems (context-menus, other popups).
Has there been any docs on this sort of thing. Couldn't find anything specifically for this type of error.
Basically, Window's are somewhat useless if this is the standard behavior.
Using FlashBuilder 4.Halo. Flex. Standard stuff. NO spark.
Thanks much for any help!

Yeah same problem here. Restarting helps, but I **** well am not going to restart with all of my opened emails and applications. Apple has lost a lot of money due to this issue over the last few days, as have the artists. These guys should take off their turtlenecks and put some proper QA into their product releases. Two Apple products that do not work together is pretty pathetic.
Seriously thinking about going back to PC...

Help with ComboBox Selection Update

Hello,
I am trying to make this application display all its labels in a different language depending on which locale the user picks from the ComboBox. The variables are being read from the ResourceBundles correctly (see command-line debugging statements) but I cannot get the pane to 'refresh' when the item is selected. I've tried everything I can think of! Please help! :)
(This assignment was to internationalize a program we wrote for a previous assignment, so this program wasn't originally written to do this. I am trying to add this functionality to my existing project, so it's not ideal).

Help with ComboBox, datasource from database

Hi there,
i am new to Flex technology and desperately need help with
combobox.
I have a combobox in my app and the datasource comes from
MySQL database. I use a PHP script to populate the combobox. Say in
the datatabse table, I have the following result:
id name
1 dog
2 cat
3 horse
In the app, the combobox will have the list as the name of
the animals: dog, cat, horse. But when the user selects dog, how do
I get the selected id 1 instead of the label "dog".
Any help/suggestion will be appreciated.

Hi again,
the xml for the combobox datasource is as follows
<animals>
<animal>
<id>1</id>
<name>dog</name>
</animal>
<animal>
<id>2</id>
<name>cat</name>
</animal>
<animal>
<id>3</id>
<name>horse</name>
</animal>
</animals>
and my <mx:HTTPService> is:
<mx:HTTPService id="dropDown" useProxy="false" url="
http://localhost/~ronnyk/combobox.php"
resultFormat="e4x" result="get_drop_down(event)" />
public function get_drop_down(e:ResultEvent):void{
var dropArr:XML = e.result as XML;
cb.dataProvider = dropArr.animal;
cb.labelField = "name";
cb.data = "id";
public function clickme():void{
txtinput.text = cb.selectedItem as String;
I can't figure out which part I did wrong, in order to get
the id instead of the name when the user clicks the button

Help with Comboboxes inside a repeater

Hi, I have a problem that I really need some help, if anyone knows how to do it.
I have to make in flex a dynamic form that has X questions and each question can be answered 3 times by sellecting Y options in a combobox. As you can Imagine the number of questions and answers can change.
Something like this:
QUESTION                          FIRST ANSWER   2nd ANSWER      3rd ANSWER
1- Which option do you like? Combobox: A      Combobox: C        CB: A
2- Second Question?             Combobox: B      Combobox: C        CB: D
3- Third Question?                 Combobox: A      Combobox: Blank CB: B
(CB: means Combobox - I just made it shorter so it could fit the window)
I managed to correctly using a repeater show all the questions and each combobox has all the right options inside. All I want now is to get the data from those comboboxes.
This is a Simplified code (I removed all the non-essencial stuff) so you can get an idea:
<mx:Repeater id="rp">
<mx:VBox label="{rp.currentItem.nome}"
width="100%">
<mx:Repeater id="qt"
dataProvider="{rp.currentItem.tbdavaliacao_pergunta}">
<mx:HBox width="100%"
verticalAlign="middle"
horizontalAlign="center">

<mx:Text text="{String(qt.currentItem.nome)}"
textAlign="center"/>

                                        <mx:ComboBox dataProvider="{grau}"
                                                       id="auto"
                                                       textAlign="center">
                                         </mx:ComboBox>
                                        <mx:ComboBox dataProvider="{grau}"
                                                       id="superior"
                                                       textAlign="center">
                                        </mx:ComboBox>
                                        <mx:ComboBox dataProvider="{grau}"
                                                       id="resultado"
                                                       textAlign="center">
                                        </mx:ComboBox>
</mx:HBox>
</mx:Repeater>
</mx:VBox>
</mx:Repeater>
Anyone has an idea of how can I get all the answers from all my dynamic comboboxes?
The perfect AND ideal solution would be having X Dynamic objects with the question id + the combobox id storing the answer sellected.
So I would know that the question 32 has the answers A, B and A for an example.
qt.currentitem.id + combobox.id = selectedLabel
(question ID) + (combobox id) = (selectedLabel)
32auto = 'A'
32superior = 'B'
32resultado = 'A'
Or just one arraycollection with all the answers...
At this point, I would accept any answer or idea or sollution...
Thanks a lot!!

I've looked at the HR schema to provide an example
From the EMPLOYEES table I would like to return the EMPLOYEE_IDs of the employees with the highest SALARY per JOB_ID. When considering the employees that have the same JOB_ID, if any of the employees have a MANAGER_ID of x then no employee is returned for that group of employees with the same JOB_ID. x will be passed in as a parameter to my procedure.
Example
MANAGER_ID of 99 passed in
All of the EMPLOYEE_IDs with the max SALARY per JOB_ID returned - no one has a manager with MANAGER_ID of 99
MANAGER_ID of 101 passed in
101 returned - Neena has the max salary of all the AD_VPs and neither of the AD_VPs has a MANAGER_ID of 101 (ok I know this isn't true about the salary!)
102 returned - Alexander has the max salary of all IT_PROGs and none of them has MANAGER_ID of 101
(108 not returned as Nancy has MANAGER_ID of 101)
109 returned - Daniel has the max salary of all the FI_ACCOUNTs and none of them has MANAGER_ID of 101
etc... for all JOB_IDs
MANAGER_ID of 102 passed in
101 returned - Neena has the max salary of all the AD_VPs and neither of the AD_VPs has a MANAGER_ID of 102 (ok I know this isn't true about the salary!)
(no IT_PROGs returned as Alexander has MANAGER_ID of 102)
108 returned - Nancy has max SALARY and not a MANAGER_ID of 102
109 returned - Daniel has the max salary of all the FI_ACCOUNTs and none of them has MANAGER_ID of 102
etc... for all JOB_IDs
MANAGER_ID of 103 passed in
101 returned - Neena has the max salary of all the AD_VPs and neither of the AD_VPs has a MANAGER_ID of 103 (ok I know this isn't true about the salary!)
(no IT_PROGs returned as several have MANAGER_ID of 103)
108 returned - Nancy has max SALARY and not a MANAGER_ID of 103
109 returned - Daniel has the max salary of all the FI_ACCOUNTs and none of them has MANAGER_ID of 103
etc... for all JOB_IDs
Hope this helps to explain things, and thanks to anyone that can help

ComboBox (dropdown) Need Help Adding URL links!!!

I am somewhat of a newbie....Anybody know how to use URL
links in a ComboBox dropdown menu? NEED HELP!!!!!!! I'm trying to
make it so that after selecting an option, the user is directed to
another URL within the same browser window. Using flash 8!
Thanks,

Im a bit a newbie myslef but i think you make flash
commuincate to javascript wich will make the browser goto the URL.
do a search on getURL and javascript together and i am sure
you will find something.
And when slecting to redirct i think its on?(onPress)
something so maybe look throught the help section in flash 8 and
look at componets. I think there is some actionscript help there.
Sorry i could not be more helpful.
