Hi

I want to use a list flash component in Director

I can set the content of listitems with following command

sprite("listspr").member.labels = ["item 1", "item 2", "item3"]

I've set multyselection property of the list to true, using Property
inspector

Now the question - how can I define, what is the current selection in this
list

Commands like sprite("listspr").member.selectedItems or
sprite("listspr").member.selectedIndeces ends with an error.

What is the correct code to define current selection in the list

Any help will be appreciated

I've discovered, that I can acess the list of selections through
sprite("listspr").selectedItems

But when no one element in list is selected, this lines gives an error -
property not found
How can I check if some elements is selected in list, so that id soes not
cause en error in script?

Hi,

I hope this can help you.


-- Behavior script attached to a list instance on the stage

property pSprite

on beginSprite(me)
pSprite = sprite(me.spriteNum)
-- Set the list component event "change" for Director response
pSpriteEvent = pSprite.newObject("Object")
pSprite.setCallback(pSpriteEvent, "change", 0, 0)
end

on change(me)
put pSprite.selectedItems -- put the item selected with the mouse on the
message window
end

on getSelectedItemsList(me)
if pSprite["selectedItems"] = VOID then -- this line of code returns VOID
if no items selected
return [] -- if no items selected returns an empty lingo list
else
return pSprite.selectedItems -- or return a lingo linear list of strings
end if
end

-- End behavior script
