Newbie question  
I’ve got a page with 2 comboboxes where i list the content from 2 xml files. The first item of each xml file is empty. Question: when i run the swf and click on ComboBox #1, a number of TextAreas are populated - fine. When I click the next ComboBox #2, the same Textareas are replaced with the correct content - fine. What i want is that when i click ComboBox#2 I want the node text in ComboBox#1 to dissapear. I can’t figure out how to do this, so please, if anyone has an idea…
