Loading a ComboBox from a file - Page 6

Loading text file information into the ComboBox component

Drag a ComboBox component onto frame 3 of the Combo layer and give it an instance name of CBOLoadSites. We'll use actionscript to load the variables from the text file into the ComboBox.

The Sites and URLs variables contain multiple pieces of information separated by commas. Individual sites and URLs will be separated into arrays using split, shown below.

var ComboSites = sitestext.Sites.split(",");

var ComboURLs = sitestext.URLs.split(",");

We'll add a default item to the ComboBox.

CBOLoadSites.addItem("-- select site --");

for (i=0; i < ComboSites.length;i++) {

   CBOLoadSites.addItem(ComboSites[i],ComboURLs[i]);

}
