Multiple combo boxes

Hi all,
New to this forum. Hoping someone might be able to help or
point me in the right direction. I`m trying to use three combo
boxes, with each combination of choices taking the user to a
different frame. Is this possible? Any hints of where to start?
Many thanks in advance!

Thanks for your reply. I have now got as far as being able to
tell which item has been selected from two combo boxes, but can`t
seem to use them outside of this function. I tried declaring as
global variables but still can`t get it to work.
Heres my code:
var myComboBox1:mx.controls.ComboBox;
myComboBox1.removeAll();
myComboBox1.addItem("--Choose--", "Choose");
myComboBox1.addItem("one", "1");
myComboBox1.addItem("ten", "10");
myComboBox1.addItem("twenty", "20")
myComboBox2.removeAll();
myComboBox2.addItem("--Choose--", "Choose");
myComboBox2.addItem("a", "a1");
myComboBox2.addItem("b", "b10");
myComboBox2.addItem("c", "c20")
//Check taking the correct value from combo box 1
myComboBox1.addEventListener("change", doChange1);
function doChange1 (evt1){
trace ("Combo box 1 " + evt1.target.value);
_global.varResult_1=evt1.target.value
//Check taking the correct value from combo box 2
myComboBox2.addEventListener("change", doChange2);
function doChange2 (evt2){
trace ("Combo box 2 " + evt2.target.value);
varResult_2=evt2.target.value
//Try to choose which frame to go to depending on both combo
boxes
function checkResult(){
//varResult_1=myComboBox1.value
//varResult_2=myComboBox2.value
if((_global.varResult_1==10)&(_global.varResult_2==b10)){
gotoAndStop(10)
function doChange(evt1) {
trace("Value changed to 1" + _global.varResult_1);
trace("Value changed to 2" + evt2.target.value);
checkResult()
Can anyone give me any hints of where I am going wrong or
where to look for help?
Thanks again

Linking multiple combo boxes

Hello,
I need some help with something that I am having trouble wrapping my head around. I am in the midst of creating some forms for our office that were originally MS Word files that have since been converted to PDF's. On these forms (which are now compiled into one PDF) there is a field for a name and one fore a licence number. What I would like to do (if possible) is have a drop down combo box with the pilots name. Once the name has been selected, it automatically populates the pilots name and licence number on the subsequent forms.
Is this possible and if so, does someone have a tutorial on how to do this? I have not had much luck looking online but thought perhaps someone on here may have tired something similar before.
Thanks.
Chris

Yes it's possible. For some help, check out: http://www.acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2007/js_list_combo_livecycle/
There is a part 2 to this article that may help as well.

Hi Madhu,
For Combo Box behaviour you can check in the Templates in Xcelsius.You can find the path in Xcelsius as File ->Templates ->Category ->HR ->Compensation or Personal Finance ->Personal Finance Dashboard under the Templates.
You can find the Ingo's blogs regarding the Web Intelligence Concepts .

Powershell Unique Selections for Multiple Combo Boxes

I am currently working on a powershell script that will use 4 combo box controls. I would like for them to all use the same data source whether it be an array or just a .txt file. I would like for each selection to be unique so that no 2 combo boxes can
have the same item selected. Is there a way to hide the item selected in the data source so the other combo boxes do not even have the option to select it and then when the user changes the item in one of the combo boxes the item is available again?

What I am looking do do is have a list of values (T1111,T1112,T1113,T1114) to be selected from by 4 combo boxes. Each value can only be selected once so if one combo box picks T1111 the other 3 do not have that option in its selection. So far I reload the
combo boxes ever time a selection is made and remove the option from the array, but I was looking to see if there is a better way. As it currently stands, getting distinct values isn't working.
Code snippet to remove item from array:
function Get-DataSource
$array = @("T1111", "T1112", "T1113", "T1114")
$combo1 = $combobox1.SelectedItem.ToString()
$combo2 = $combobox2.SelectedItem.ToString()
$array = $array | Where-Object -FilterScript { $_ -ne $combo1 }
$array = $array | Where-Object -FilterScript { $_ -ne $combo2 }
return $array

Multiple combo boxes cause application freeze

I have an application that uses 3 combo boxes, they appear if
the remoting service populates them.
The actionscript is very simple, I only add items, removeall,
and sort them by their label.
If I use old MX combo box, my application works perfectly.
If I use the Version 2 components, the application works when
I select one of the combo boxes, but the second I touch the second
combo box, it locks up the application and I get the message that a
script is running, should I abort...
I am using Flash 8 and want to stick with all V2 components,
but...
anybody experience this issue? I have a lot of other V2
components on the application, all work, except this combobox
issue.
thanks
Josh

You can create a JavaScript array of the items and values to be set into the combo boxes and then use Acrobat's JavaScript's ''setItems()' method to load the fields.
Get various fields (combo or list) and set items in the list using various techniques.
var l = this.getField("ListBox");
l.setItems(["One", "Two", "Three"]);
var c = this.getField("StateBox");
c.setItems([["California", "CA"],["Massachusetts", "MA"],
["Arizona", "AZ"]]);
var c = this.getField("NumberBox");
c.setItems(["1", 2, 3, ["PI", Math.PI]]);

Dealing with multiple combo boxes.

Hi all,
Yesterday I started a thread on the topic of using a main JComboBox, that when you select one of its items, 2 sub combo boxe's models are changed. Michael_Dunn helped me on this and gave me a great example. However, I don't want to have the 2nd combo box change the contents of the 3rd. I'd like the 1st combo box to control both the 2nd and the third. I modified his code a bit to make this true. However, when you select an item on the 1st box, and then change the item on either the 2nd or 3rd box, it sets the selection to both the 2nd and 3rd box. I'd like these boxes to behave normally, without one changing the other, except for the 1st boxe's control. This sounds a bit confusing the way I explain it, so just check out the code and you'll see what I mean. Also, here's the link to my previous thread: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=702577 Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Help with linking combo boxes so that some options are made unavailable

Hello!
I'm having trouble setting up an interactive PDF form with multiple combo boxes.
I have designed an interactive PDF form in InDesign CS6 but am doing the final preparation and formatting in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.
First of all, I am not sure if I should be using combo boxes or list boxes, but the combo box seemd to look better after I export the PDF and also left the field blank, ready for selection from the drop-down menu.
Basically I have a list of drop-down lists, but not all combinations are compatible. For example, after maing "Selection 1" in "Combo box 1", I need only "Selection 1", "2", and "3" [out of the total 5] to be available in "Combo box 2".
I need to be able to apply this algorhythm to the next few combo boxes as well.
Moreover, I would need some of the checkboxes disabled [the user won't be able to check them at all]when I make a certain selection in some of the combo boxes.
Needless to say, I don't know any Java, coding or making calculations in LiveCycle Designer, so I don't even know where to begin.
I have attached a screen grab of my form and what I want to achieve.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you!

If it is static data, I would suggest you to cache it rather than having it in each of the user session. You can have configuration/code to refresh when needed. Please look at any available caching frameworks (EhCache, OSCache etc...)

Multiple lines in a combo box

Hello,
I am attempting to create a pdf file for the purposes of filling in information and then printing it out. I have very limited skill with Acrobat 8, basically what I've learned myself, and I run into an issue with my combo boxes. Some of the sentences I have put into the boxes are too long and I have not been able to figure out how to wrap the text, or make it use multiple lines. I need all of my data to show. Can someone explain, in simple terms if possible, how this can be accomplished, or provide an alternative. I have read several posts but have not been able to work out where to start with them. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I've been reading through more forums and I think what you suggested was to have shorter options in the combo box that, when selected, generate the full length sentence into a text field. Is that the basic concept? Here is one of the sentences that is too large for my combo box:
5b. Use Mendel's Law to evaluate monohybrid Punnett Squares for complete dominance, incomplete dominance, codominance, sex-linked, and multiple alleles. (DOK 2)
So I could set up a combo box with 5b in this case. I could then write script in the combo box properties that would cause the sentence to be generated into a text field located beside the combo box. If this is the case I would have to write out script for each one of the number/letter combinations correct?
Just for some background info, I'm attempting to create a lesson plan template (I'm a teacher) that has all the necessary information listed so that I don't have to type it all out every time I do a lesson plan.

I 'll explain the requirement:
I have three tables, for example employee, department and empDept table which contains empId and DeptId. In my jsp, while inserting employee i need to give all existing departments in combo with multiselect option. When user press submit, i need to insert one record in employee, and records in empDept with new empId and all selected Department ids. empId is dbsequence generation.
(I did this through LOV mode of list binding editor. Even i select multiple values in JSP, its inserting only first selected record in to empDept table.)

Is there a way on a MAC to create a Combo Box Drop Down list with multiple email addresses?

I'm trying to create a Submit To button on a form that allows me to choose between five different people and their email addresses.
This one form can be sent to five different people, and if I just want to send to one, how do I program that in a combo box?
Can anyone please help??

Yes I believe JavaScript may be the answer because I can't seem to get anything else to work.
Currently the email will only need to be sent to one recipient at a time.
I am very unfamiliar with JavaScript and am just starting to dive into it. Would you be able to help me with the coding?
Thank you this sounds very promising!
