[thelist] Flash MX 2004 - Variables, etc..

[Mark Joslyn]

<snip>
How are you retrieving the variable?

You could try attaching similar to a MC:

onClipEvent(load) {
  this.loadVariables ("myvariables.txt");
}
onClipEvent(data) {
  _root.myComboBox.text=myTextVar
}
</snip>

The variable is dynamically created by the web service. So, the result from
the Flash webServiceConnector component is a string (sessionID).
(this.webservice.result)

So I click the login button, the web service returns me back a sessionID,
then based on the sessionID, I want to dynamically populate a comboBox
component with results from another web service method. (I am filling the
comboBox with report names - the web service required a sessionID as a
parameter.)

I am not loading external variables per se, I am getting a variable from the
web service but it seems like it grabs it too late for my comboBox to
successfully populate (undefined).

Any other thoughts?

Thanks,
