Hey, Im in the midst of adding the finishing touches to a Flash game, but a combobox on the entry fields is messing everything up!

The combobox is dynamically populated, otherwise I wouldnt be using a component! However, is there some kind of free combobox alternative that can be populated dynamically?

I have tried all the tricks I can think of to get this comobox to work (swapping depths doesnt work, \_lookroot ruins the whole form etc). Im working on a tight deadline, so I havent got time to investigate this properly

Any help appreciated?!
