value of selected dropdown item

[cardeiro]

is it me or does the ui documentation from adobe totally su-huck?

anyway, I am trying to implement a dropdown list and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the value of the selected item into the function (tried this.item, this.value, this.selected, and they all come up undefined.

now I may be a total moron, but I have gone through the docs many times and cannot figure it out.

anybody care to throw me a bone?

okay...so I figured it out and it was this.selection
