ListBox component

[Max]

Hey Mike,

After you have added your listbox to the stage, click on it.
Add code bellow to the actions script window.

on (load) {
_parent.listArray = new Array()
for(i=0;i<rowCount;i++){
trace(getItemAt(i).label)
_parent.listArray[i]=getItemAt(i).label
}
}

Hi, could anyone help me with this problem, its probably simple to most of
you Flash gurus but im not up on components that well. I want to get the
values from a listBox component (eg. the labels, Bill, John, Bob etc) and
put them into an array. I only seem to be able to use getItemAt() or
getSelectedItem() and these seem to be triggered when a user clicks the
list?

Hope you can help

Thanks

Mike

Name = "bill,bob,jon,tom";

arrLabel = Name.split(",");
for(var ii=0; ii<arrLabel.length; ii++){
n.addItem(arrLabel[ii])
}

b.onRelease = function(){
for(var x=0;x!=arrLabel.length;x++){
if(t.text == arrLabel[x]){
trace("Same")
}else{
trace("Not Same")
}
}
};

Hi Max thanks for your help, I finally got that bit working last night using
this method:

Name = "bill,bob,jon,tom"

var arrLabel = Name.split(",");
for(i=0; i<arrLabel.length; i++){
n.addItem(arrLabel[i])
}
b.onRelease = function(){

if(t.text == arrLabel[0]){
trace("Same")

}else{
trace("Not Same")
}
}

What happens in this code is on the stage I have a listbox component called
"n" there is also an input text field called "t" and a button called "b".

What im stuck on now is I want to be able to check the value of the text
field against the values in the array, so if someone types in "bill" it
would say "this item exists" else it would say "this item does not exist".
the only way I could think of doing it would be thike this:

if(t.text == arrLabel[0] | t.text == arrLabel[1] | t.text ==
arrLabel[2]){ and so on.....

But the variable Name is set dynamically so I don't know how many items
there will be.

Is there an easier way?

Thanks

Mike
