I could not find a direct sulution to pass the hidden value into action script. But, I found from your posting that a solved the problem. Hi,

However, I wanted to make the example show the more flexible way of using ActionScript, because that's necessary for more complex behavior. For example, in the real app that I was developing where I worked these things out, there were actually two "Pay Detail" fields, and the ActionScript code was changing not only the label, but also the size and some other properties of each. There is some more discussion about this choice in the comments for my follow-up article (also linked from the note at the top of this article). Troy:

I suppose this way is better if you are dynamically calling information from a database connection using id's in the drop down, but can't you simply load the values from the database into the drop down initially?
