Flash MX or MX2004

[equinox007 webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

The help with Flash MX isnt very good.. Flash MX 2004 help is a lot better and more detailed.

I am using Flash MX2002 and am trying to configure a list box.

I have been trying to retrieve the total number of elements in the list, ie listbox.length

(I found the above source in the Flash MX2004 help, along with a lot of other actions)

Can these actions be applied to MX2002 or only MX2004.


I only ask this becauese the .length still doesnt seem to be working...

perhaps there is something else i need to add to flashMX2002 syntax?

Thanks in advance.

Bless this forum.

I can understand your frustration with the flash help system. But straight out of the reference panel under Flash UI Components > FListBox > Methods you will find myListBox.getLength();

Availability

Flash Player 6.

Usage

myListBox.getLength()

Parameters

None.

Returns

An integer.

Description

Method; returns the number of items in the list box.

Example

The following code returns the number of items in phoneList.

phoneList.getLength();


To find the reference panel go under Window>Reference or press [shift]+f1.
