Nice but your font is not very legible in your preview.

Two cooperating ComboBoxes that hold entries loaded from an XML file and can be modified by the same XML ! Choosing a brand will load brands’ models into the second combobox. Selecting a model will lead you to the models website.
Very easy to change and nice to have!
f.a.q
Actionscript? – 2.0
It´s possible to change colors? – Yes, use the XML file!

Great idea for a file. If you make it the preview more clear, or include it working on your own website and add a bit more detail in the description you should sell a lot. At the moment it will put off a few people.
I’m gonna bookmark this and will grab it in a few days just for the AS alone. Regardless of the $5 value this is a great little file. I’ve not seen any like it on FD so far.

I reviewed the file and tried to find out what makes the file not work on flash 8 but on flash cs 3 – on the “properties” panel in flash, it says:
“Player: 6 Actionscript: 2.0” Officially it SHOULD work. But it doesn’t in my flash mx 2004 (player 6 compatible) I think that it is the comboboxes.. but i am not sure..
You might want to download the adobe flash cs 3 professional trial here: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/
If the file still doesn’t open contact me again. regards, nnielss

Why would I download a trial of CS3 ? It said it was a MX6 (+) file.
If the file won’t open in 8, I’m OK with a refund… or I’ll wait till the problem is fixed. Either way, keep me posted.

So apparently, the only solution you have is for me to ‘get CS3 ’.
-It’s like selling me a car part for my Toyota, then telling me to get a new car because it’s the wrong part.
Change the description of this file to something accurate (like “requires CS3 ”
and get me a refund!
Hey, I fixed it! chill out and check your mail.
Apparently, it’s just a different way you have to save the file, that I did with FLASH CS3 . It is “Project_two_DropDown_xml_Menu_Flash8.fla” now. ´

Yes, you sure did. Thank you. Sorry to be pushy, but you worried me with your last few responses/mails.
Very cool file. Works perfectly. Thanks!

Nice file! I´v been looking for a simular solution, but instead of comboBox, is it possible to use 2 listBox´s instead?

yeah, you just gotta use the other component basically – make sure the instance names are set the same as they are in the original file or you will have to replace a couple of extra lines in the actionscript, i think. I think that even the functions are the same (?).
Mycombo.addChild(“whatever”
;
Mylist.addChild(“whatever”
;
If you buy the file but still cannot get it to work with your listboxes, contact me via my Den.

Would this be possible to use in the following scenario ?
Combobox 1 has a list of provinces/states …. selecting one populates combobox 2 with a list of cities in that province or state. Then selecting something in combo box 2 returns a list of places in that city …. perhaps with a loading of a google map link. (i know the google map is something totally different, so just a list is good)
thanks
