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

yes it would. you will have to write the google map link stuff yourself. contact if you are having trouble

hi first of all u do a good job i am sorry i am from israel and my english is not so good i have a problem with your fla thet i buy from you . pleas help me: when i want to change in the xml …
Branch_box_numberofRows=”8” Leaf_box_numberofRows=”5”/>
to put more lines (example
, the selection scroll jump up and i want it to stay down even when it be 20 lines or more….
hi tzvi:
this component itself automatically decides wether it goes down or up with the rows, it depends on the space ´there is, since it has to fit all the lines on the screen. so if you dont want it to go up, just put the whole component to a lower _y value (put it up).

Hello,
I would like to purchase, but I want to know if I can open two links when the model is selected. I am using html frameset, when a model is seleced I want to load a page in the left frame and load another page in the mainFrame.
Can we do this by specifying target property for each link
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Kris

well the function works like this:
getURL('an url')
you can just do it like this:
getURL('an url')
and then, in the next line of actionscript:
getURL('a second url')
the file will then open “an url” and also “a second url”! nnielss
