Actionscript 2.0 - Emergency Help!

[Lazymodecomics]

Greetings wise and powerful coders,

Here is my issue:

I have a combobox(component) with instance name of "my_cb" in flash actionscript 2.0 with the following:

frame actionscript:

//combobox list

my_cb.addItem({ label:"Select Your Work Place"});
my_cb.addItem({data:pink, label:"SPP"});

my_cb.addItem({data:blue, label:"stages"});

//////

function pinkEvac() {

if (my_cb.selectedItem.data == pink)
gotoAndStop("pink");
}
///////////////

function blueEvac() {

if (my_cb.selectedItem.data == blue)
gotoAndStop("blue");
}

my_cb.addEventListener("change", pinkEvac);
my_cb.addEventListener("change", blueEvac);

When I try to change the selected Item under the combobox to something else, for example select "stage", the play-head does not go to the specified frame. It just flickers and stays in the same frame that it was originally sent to.

Help is very much appreciated, thanks everyone.

If you put a trace inside your if conditions, do they output something to the console ?

If yes, I guess the gotoAndPlay()s are faulty. Try specifying a scene id/name in those calls.

The problem turned out to be the Data variable had to be a number not a string. It was odd. But my main Blannis figured it out!
