Passing a function through data in a comboBox

Commenta 14th November , 2009
I want a comboBox that will allow the user to select what colour palette they want the application to have.

I am using a comboBox to do this and want to have a function with arguments as the data in the comboBox item.

I’ve managed to do it and pass arguments but these are running when the comboBox is set up. I only want the function to run when the user presses the submit button. How can I prevent the function from running on set up?

Here is my code:

ActionScript Code:


package
{

    import flash.display.*;
    import flash.events.*;
    import flash.text.*;
    import fl.controls.*;
    import fl.managers.StyleManager;
    import flash.text.TextFormat;

    public class CatProcess extends MovieClip
    {

        var headingTxt:Label;
        var headingFormat:TextFormat;
        var userLabel:Label;
        var paletteLabel:Label;
        var ageLabel:Label;
        var ageInputBox:TextInput;
        var standardFormat:TextFormat;
        var nameInputBox:TextInput;
        var userName:String;
        var paletteCombo:ComboBox;
        var submit_btn:Button;
        var rose:TextFormat;
        var aqua:TextFormat;

        public function CatProcess()
        {
           
            //Palette Label
            paletteLabel=new Label();
            paletteLabel.text = "Please select a colour palette for this form";
            paletteLabel.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
            paletteLabel.setStyle("textFormat",standardFormat);
            paletteLabel.move(89,157);
            addChild(paletteLabel);

            //Palette ComboBox

            paletteCombo=new ComboBox();
            paletteCombo.addItem({data:setPalette("chose aqua via a function"),label:"aqua"});
            paletteCombo.addItem({data:setPalette("chose rose via a function"),label:"rose"});
            paletteCombo.move(360,157);
            addChild(paletteCombo);

            submit_btn=new Button();
            submit_btn.move(255,258);
            submit_btn.label = "submit";
            addChild(submit_btn);

            submit_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,processData);
            function processData()
            {
                trace("working");
            }

            function setPalette(hhh:String)
            {
                trace(hhh);
            }

        }
    }
}

Plus, my movie is taking ages to submit, even though there is nothing on the stage. There are components in the library though. Would this cause it to take about 5 seconds to export to swf?
