Subject: Re: FLASH: Dynamically populated, scrollable, selectable text

Check out Pipey's interface widgets:

http://www.pipey.ndirect.co.uk/freeflash/listbox.fla

http://www.pipey.ndirect.co.uk/freeflash/combobox.fla

Both examples generate scrolling lists. Just use your ASP data to
populate the lists. Simply substitute Pipey's arrays with your ASP
data and work from there.

Hope this helps. BTW, nice work Pipey!
