Drop down menu in Flash form

Question

I've never developed form in flash before, so this is very
NEW!!! I'm having problems incorporating the "AS" code for the
drop-down in my actions. It's just a simple drop-down with (name -
Gender) / (options - Male / Female)
This is what I have thus far:
if (firstName == null || lastName == null || emailAddress ==
null || zipCode == null || {
gotoAndPlay("regempty");
} else {
surveyEntry = new LoadVars();
surveyEntry.firstName = firstName;
surveyEntry.lastName = lastName;
surveyEntry.zipCode = zip;
surveyEntry.emailAddress = emailAddress;
surveyEntry.sendAndLoad("x_processSurvey.asp", surveyEntry,
"POST");
gotoAndPlay("thankyou");

Answer 1

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!
