With this little file you have an alternative customizable Combo Box. Its lightweight, and easy to manage.
You can easily change the appearance of this combobox by modifying the variables for Colors and Width.
Change the EaseType, and Slidespeed also through variables. Add as many items you want to. Dynamically set the values of each item. Call any function you want, it’s prepared to fit your needs.

hi clopez40 , send me your email adress, and tell me what you want to do with it in detail, so i can give you a brief explanation.
And thanks for buying! phil[at]rueckenetikett.de
in the meantime just do somthing like this:
in the action Array insert an action-synonym like ‘getUrl’ e.g. var __action = [“getUrl”,...]
expand the ‘DO_THE_FUNC’ – function with this:
DO_THE_FUNC = function ...
switch...{
...
case "getUrl":
// call the function
openUrl();
break;
...
}
//openUrl function
openUrl = function() {
getUrl("www.yourSite.com", "_blank");
}
//end
}
//end of 'DO_THE_FUNC'

i purchase your file, just one question…..
I have 3 instances of the combobox on the main stage, if i open one combobox i’d like to close the remaining comboboxes’ items, would you please be so kind to tell me how to do it?

@filo666 yes, its possible to change the fonts and the arrow. But it’s not done by variables. In the Library you see the folder ’ comboBoxParts’. Just pick the MC ‘MC_Title_Txt’ .There you be able to change the font. The ‘arrow’ MC contains the editable arrow…
Closing the other boxes is not implemented yet, but I#m working on an updated version version wich will provide that and much more.. just drop me line by mail (phil[at]rueckenetikett.de), so i’ll mail you the update asap(next few days). Thanks!

Hey Mr.
The tweening-file webaddress is not running at the moment – and a Google-search points to the same server. Will you mail it to me at anders(a)nmd.dk, please…

Hi. This is perfect. Just what I was looking for. I customized it and added it to a form movie. I’m hoping you can help me out with one small thing, however…
The drop down contains various salutations (ie. Mr., Mrs., Dr., etc.). I want to send what the user has picked as their salutation to a php page (email.php).
I have all other form fields working as well as the php email page. The only thing I can’t figure out is how to send what the user chose as their salutation to the php page…
I know you’ve got some great actionscripting with example functions contained within this drop down movie (ie. for xml, loading images, etc.), but I’m not very AS savvy… hence the reason for buying your flash component
What do i need to do with the movie or the actionscripting so that I can send the salutation variable to my php page? Any help would be appreciated! TY.
You should really include everything in the Zip file that will make it work. I don’t appreciate being sent to more sites to download additional AS files.
This file does not work when downloaded.

Hi,
@celestine090, you can grab the values of the combobox by the following:
Generally, the variable for item’s text/description is held in the array ‘items’ wich you’ve defined previously. So you can get it by calling it’s unique ID, e.g ‘items0’ provides the first Item’s text in the array…
Have a look at line 217, it’s the ‘onRelease’-function, wich will trigger the actions given…
__newItem.onRelease = function() {
// adding the following line will show you the item's text inside the output window:
trace(__items[this.ID]);
//....remaining code...
};
ok, now we go a step further… the most simple way to store this text is to assign it to an additional variable. Define it on top of the script, where the other variables are declared, e.g. line 36…
//line 36
var mySelectedText:String;
__newItem.onRelease = function() {
// now, assign the text of the selected item to the previously defined variable
mySelectedText = __items[this.ID];
// you can have a look at the variables content
trace (mySelectedText);
//....remaining code...
};
Now you’re able to access the variable for use in your contact form..
hope, it helps! If you got still any questions, drop me line!

@jimmyd80
i would have included it, if were sure about the copyright of the tween classes…
I use these classes, because they provide more functionality than the flash built in methods… I will look into if it is allowed to redistribute..
Sorry for causing you inconvenience!

@Triclops the as is inside the clip ‘MC_COMBOBOX’ wich is in the library. just drag it on the stage, doubleclick it, the first frame contains all the information/as you need! It has no external as file.

I had the same problem with .as file as I would get error that it can’t find .as file.
I fixed it by downloading a flash extension from http://laco.wz.cz/tween/ and now it works.
