Here is a sample in its simple form

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="vertical" minWidth="955" minHeight="600">

    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import mx.controls.Alert;
            protected function button1_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
            {
                Alert.show("Selected country is "+'"'+cm1.selectedItem+'"\n'+"Selected state is "+'"'+cm2.selectedItem+'"');
            }
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>

    <mx:ComboBox id="cm1" width="150" dataProvider="['a1','b1','c1']"/>
    <mx:ComboBox id="cm2" width="150" dataProvider="['a1a','b1b','c1c']"/>

For getting each combobox selected item as text use selectedItem.label. see here.
For popping alerts use Alert.show. see here.
For string building use + operator.

Good luck.
