Emergency help needed... Scrolling through a combobox...

	Emergency help needed... Scrolling through a combobox... by luthervondude on Mar 9, 2007 at 12:36:52 pm I need to be able to start typing in a combo box and it scroll through the entries as I type. For example, imagine I have the numbers 1-500 listed in my combo box. Typing 3 will take you to "3" then typing 1 will take you to "31" and typing 5 will take you to "315" Are there any third party components that will do this or a way I can code it to do this? This is a major hang up for us on a major project. Please Help!!! Thanks, Luther Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: Emergency help needed... Scrolling through a combobox... by DaveTrep on Mar 12, 2007 at 5:06:26 pm Hi Have you tried using a listener to detect what is being typed into the combo box? var cmbChange = new Object(); cmbChange.change = function(eventObj) { trace ("cmb"+combo_cmb.text); }; combo_cmb.addEventListener("change", cmbChange); You can then search the .xml file for matching data and return the index number to find the corresponding entry in the combo control. if the xml is extremely long this approach may be too slow but it is worth a try. Hope this helps Dave Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index
