Retaining comboBox label on exitFrame

[DrGonzo]

Hello all!
I'm building an application that uses combo boxes to choose (and change) the colour if the text in a dynamic text field. The only problem is, that when you leave the frame and then come back to it, the text has returned to it's default colour?
I am using this code for the colour change (colourBox is the combo box name lineOne_txt is the text field name):

Code: Select all

//sets a listener for lineOne text colour
objComboListener = new Object();
objComboListener.change = function(eventObj){

//sets the swith fuction for lineOne colour
    var nIndex = Number(colourBox.selectedIndex);
switch (nIndex){
    case 0: break;
    case 1: lineOne_fmt = new TextFormat();
lineOne_fmt.color = 0x000000;
lineOne_txt.setNewTextFormat(lineOne_fmt);break;
    case 2: lineOne_fmt = new TextFormat();
lineOne_fmt.color = 0xFFFFFF;
lineOne_txt.setNewTextFormat(lineOne_fmt);break;
    case 3: lineOne_fmt = new TextFormat();
lineOne_fmt.color = 0x3399FF;
lineOne_txt.setNewTextFormat(lineOne_fmt);break;
    case 4: lineOne_fmt = new TextFormat();
lineOne_fmt.color = 0x0000CC;
lineOne_txt.setNewTextFormat(lineOne_fmt);break;
}
}

//applies changes
colourBox.addEventListener("change", objComboListener);

I also had the same problem with the text itself (the dynamic field text, is created by the user, entering text into an input text field) with the text dissappearing when you re-entered the frame, but I fixed this by giving the input fields variable names. I'm not really sure why this fixed it - but it did!!

(I am very new to this!).

If anyone knows what I can do - it would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

DrGonzo.

Confused...Did you ever get this working?

[DrGonzo]

No, I changed my whole approach to the site in the end and built is all in the same frame, using the _visible function. I played around with trying to label the combo box data fields as the colour codes - then sending that info to the text boxes. It almost worked, but then I changed it to a one frame file.
