Hey matt,
Cheers man - but I think this is getting above my head a bit or am I close?
I have pasted the code for both sections that return the results - could you suggest where and how this coded of yours may be integrated?

// 1 // call the server for the group details after selecting the group drop down
function getGroupDetails_Result(result) {
        groupDetails_txt.text = result.items[0].GroupName + "\n" + result.items[0].LOCATION + "\n" + result.items[0].COORDINATOR + "\n" + result.items[0].VEGETATION + "\n" + result.items[0].DETAILS + "\n" + result.items[0].STARTDATE;
        trace("Group Details from server records: " + result.getLength());
        trace ("selected item is " + result.items[0].GroupName);

        //set variable to attach indicator function to--
        site = result.items[0].GroupName + sites;
        trace ("combined site string is " + site);
}

// 2 // call dbase to draw sites clips on stage

getGroupsSites_Result = function(rs){
        sites = rs.getLength() //how many rows of data in the recordset
        for (var k=0; k < sites; k++){

//dynamically put clips to stage and place data into

attachMovie("mc_site", "mc_site"+k, k, {_x:rs.getItemAt(k).xposition, _y:rs.getItemAt(k).yposition})

// binding 2 fields into one variable - and finalises y location of the mc_sites clips

DataGlue.bindFormatStrings ("mc_site", rs, "#xposition#", "#yposition#");

this["mc_site"+k].bubble.txtLabel.html = true;

this["mc_site"+k].bubble.txtLabel.htmlText = "<b>"+"site "+rs.getItemAt(k).SITE_ID+"<br>"+rs.getItemAt(k).GroupName+"<br>"+rs.getItemAt(k).Location+"</b>"

trace("total no. of sites = " + sites);

trace("mc_site is " + rs.getItemAt(k).SITE_ID);

}
}
server.getGroupsSites();

Your help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Hey Jas,
I have a "fair" idea I know what you're trying to do. See if this helps
for your change handler.

returnedDatabaseList = new Object();
returnedDatabaseList .change = function(evt) {
myFunctionToTargetMC_SiteArrow();
};
myComboBox_cb.addEventListener("change", returnedDatabaseList );

Regards
Matt

BTW - Not too sure if its related (or relevent), but I have some
comboBoxes calling data and hiding/showing images in my Flash AppLocater
play app i've been mucking around with here -

heres how I've got it so far...
1. i set a function and variable "sites" to get records from db.
2. i loop through db and attach a movie clip from the library "mc_site" to
variable "k"
3. i use dataglue to bind the dynamic clip and the x & y db entries to set
the clips location
4. i set the dynamic text field in the "mc_site" clip to pull the data from
db table.

This all works.

Then...
5. i have 2 drop down combo boxes that populate and return details in a
text box [big word up to Andrew M!]
6. results returned in "result.items[0]"

so...
I need to target the already positioned "mc_site" using the variable
"sites" and then turn on the "arrow"._visible

Try using the onChanged event on the combo box to work out which object to make visible.

Chris
