    Array Set-Up Question

    Hello All

    I put this array on the document level of an Acrobat form

    var gmagazine = new Array
    gmagazine["mhm"] = "48"
    gmagazine["mhm"] = "12"
    gmagazine["mhm"] = "20"

    I then put this on a drop down list field of the form

    var trimFld = this.getField(" spec_trim")
    var liveFld = this.getField(" spec_live")
    var bleedFld = this.getField(" spec_bleed")

    if (event.changeEx in gmagazine)
    trimFld.value = gmagazine[event.changeEx]

    My goal is that when the export value of mhm is selected via the combo
    box, these values will diaplay as follows:
    48 will appear in the text field "spec_trim"
    12 will appear in the text field "spec_live"
    20 will appear in the text field "spec_bleed "

    I know as currently constructed, the array will only work if I have one
    text
    field associated with the export value of "mhm". How do I create an
    array
    that allows for three separate values (for spec_trim, spec_live and
    spec_bleed, from a single export value of "mhm"

    Is this possible?

    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    Kenn

      I posted an example of what I am trying to accomplish at
      http://www.polar.icestorm.com/sfl/array_example.pdf Please let me know if
      you have any ideas on this.

          I'm not sure if this applies to pdf files because I don't understand
          your code. This works in an html page. Maybe you can use or modify this
          approach:

          - use a 2 dimensional array
          - match array index data with select index

          <script type="text/javascript">
          var gmagazine = new Array();
          gmagazine[1] = new Array();
          gmagazine[1] = ["48","12"," 20"];
          gmagazine[2] = new Array();
          gmagazine[2] = ["100","200","30 0"];

          function processlistpick (num) {
          var frm=document.fo rms["form1"];
          frm.trim.value = gmagazine[num][0];
          frm.live.value = gmagazine[num][1];
          frm.bleed.value = gmagazine[num][2];
          }
          </script>
          </head>
          <body>
          <form name="form1">
          <select name="List1" OnChange="proce sslistpick(this .selectedIndex) ">
          <option>Choos e A Publication</option>
          <option>MHM - Miluakee Home</option>
          <option>Other - ___________</option>
          </select>
          <br>
          <br>
          <input type="text" length=12 name="trim">&nb sp;
          <input type="text" length=12 name="live">&nb sp;
          <input type="text" length=12 name="bleed">&n bsp;
          </form>
