I have two classes: one creates and loades a combobox and another class that creates and loads an UILoader .

They both work independently.

In these classes below I have the args in the UILoader class hard coded and they work.

The CBMajorComponent class should pass the fileName and the Key var’s as args.

If I try to pass the args from the CBMajorComponent class everything works under the hood but there are no images displayed in the mcContent.

Is there a reason for this?

Thanks

This is in the actions frame in the .fla
