ComboBox Jump to Frame...

[BGUSMAOKM]

Hi there, I created a list of States from our country that should link to a especific FRAME on my Android App.
But I could not figure out how can I do that... =-(

Is there another way? Or, what is the correct way of doing this with Combo Box object?

Thanks a lot!

Working on it!

Well I use to do like this: (probably there are other ways as well)

First you make a combo box like you did.

Then create an event that says "selection changed" of Combo Box. Then "Set Global String A to.."(it could be any string) .. Combo Select$( "Combo Box" ) This gets the content of the Box..

Now Global String A contains the state you have chosen let's say it's California..

Then you make another event Global String A = "California" and choose jump to frame as an action..

Remember to add the action set Global String A to "" in this event because otherwise the app will jump to california every time you populate the list..

I hope it's possible for you to understand what I have written english is not my language..:-)

Worked on PC but

DIDNT WORK ON ANDROID... it passes to the other page at load.


Also I found Set Global Value and Set Global String (whats difference?)

One was setting to Zero "0" and the other to empty ""

When I dont set to Zero/Empty, it works on Android...

Whats the problem?! =-(

Now is working...

Hi!

I'm in a bit of hurry but I think these should work

I believe the problem is that the top line can't be an option so i simply wrote "select" there and now it works..

Hope this has served you

A string is used to store text and numbers

A global value is used to store numbers that can be a part of calculations..

In this case I think you should use a string because your combo box will return a string of text..

I suggest you read all the guides that are aviable if you are interested in mmf2..

Have you tried the example I sent you? Did it work for you?
