I'm in the process of expanding an admin area for a website (coded with PHP and
MySQL) and would like to get my client list into a flash combo box.
the main columns I would need would be the account and the company name... In
a regular example would be

<select name='client'>
<option value='2460'>Client 1</option>
<option value='2461'>Client 2</option>
</select>

If I could get this I should be away...

Oh.. the problem I am having is I'm unsure of how to create the combo box and insert the data into it. I have a little knowledge of bringing in data to flash, but that is minimal.

You first need to decide on the data structure to send to Flash. Some typical
ways are via XML and URL variables where you can use
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00002879.html or
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00002336.html. The examples are
good follow as templates, you just need to populate the combobox component in
the onLoad method for either data structure. That you can do more than one way
and a good place to start is the
