Marker Symbol size by user input

I'm sure this is an easy one. I've got a combobox (cboMarker) populated with 8 numbers to allow a user to pick the size of the marker on the map. Problem is I'm having trouble passing the cboMarker.selectedlabel value into my marker definitions. Should I be using single quotes?

   private var graphicLineSym:SimpleLineSymbol = new SimpleLineSymbol("solid", 0x000000, 0.8, 1);
   private var IMPACTSymbol1:SimpleMarkerSymbol = new SimpleMarkerSymbol (SimpleMarkerSymbol.STYLE_CIRCLE, cboMarker.selectedLabel, 0x007F09, 1.0, NaN, NaN, NaN, graphicLineSym);
   private var IMPACTSymbol2:SimpleMarkerSymbol = new SimpleMarkerSymbol(SimpleMarkerSymbol.STYLE_CIRCLE, cboMarker.selectedLabel, 0x8EED91, 1.0, NaN, NaN, NaN, graphicLineSym);
   private var IMPACTSymbol3:SimpleMarkerSymbol = new SimpleMarkerSymbol(SimpleMarkerSymbol.STYLE_CIRCLE, cboMarker.selectedLabel, 0xFF0302, 1.0, NaN, NaN, NaN, graphicLineSym);
   private var PKPSymbol1:SimpleMarkerSymbol = new SimpleMarkerSymbol(SimpleMarkerSymbol.STYLE_TRIANGLE, cboMarker.selectedLabel, 0x007F09, 1.0, NaN, NaN, NaN, graphicLineSym);
   private var PKPSymbol2:SimpleMarkerSymbol = new SimpleMarkerSymbol(SimpleMarkerSymbol.STYLE_TRIANGLE, cboMarker.selectedLabel, 0x8EED91, 1.0, NaN, NaN, NaN, graphicLineSym);
   private var PKPSymbol3:SimpleMarkerSymbol = new SimpleMarkerSymbol(SimpleMarkerSymbol.STYLE_TRIANGLE, cboMarker.selectedLabel, 0xFF0302, 1.0, NaN, NaN, NaN, graphicLineSym);
   private var PATSymbol1:SimpleMarkerSymbol = new SimpleMarkerSymbol(SimpleMarkerSymbol.STYLE_SQUARE, cboMarker.selectedLabel, 0x007F09, 1.0, NaN, NaN, NaN, graphicLineSym);
   private var PATSymbol2:SimpleMarkerSymbol = new SimpleMarkerSymbol(SimpleMarkerSymbol.STYLE_SQUARE, cboMarker.selectedLabel, 0x8EED91, 1.0, NaN, NaN, NaN, graphicLineSym);
                        private var PATSymbol3:SimpleMarkerSymbol = new SimpleMarkerSymbol(SimpleMarkerSymbol.STYLE_SQUARE, cboMarker.selectedLabel, 0xFF0302, 1.0, NaN, NaN, NaN, graphicLineSym);

Thanks,

Wade,

That is expecting a number not a string.

private var IMPACTSymbol1:SimpleMarkerSymbol = new SimpleMarkerSymbol (SimpleMarkerSymbol.STYLE_CIRCLE, Number(cboMarker.selectedLabel), 0x007F09, 1.0, NaN, NaN, NaN, graphicLineSym);

Was actually on that train of thought. Was in the process of finding the method to convert string to number, but I like your way better 🙂
