How to use a comboBox to select a "colour palette"

Question

I want to use a comboBox from which the user selects a colour theme.  When the item is selected, I want it to run a function that will then change various item's attributes.  I don't know where to store the new attribute values though.  I tried storing them in comboBox item under DATA but that didn't work.  I also tried having a function as data which didn't work either.  Any suggestions?

Only way I can think of is using an IF statement

ie

paletteCombo=new ComboBox();
               paletteCombo.addItem({data:aqua,label:"aqua"});
               paletteCombo.addItem({data:rose,label:"rose"});
               paletteCombo.move(400,157);
               addChild(paletteCombo);
               paletteCombo.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, comboHandler);
function comboHandler(e:Event){
var myData:TextFormat = event.currentTarget.selectedItem.data;
if (myData=="rose"){
          various formatting occurs
     }
}
