Does anyone know why the following line is incompatible with the comboBox component that ships with MX2004 and up?
Object.registerClass("ColorPalette", ColorPalette);
The full story
I am using a colorPalette developed by Govinda Sarkhel (located at http://www.flash-db.com/Components/?swfID=23&sComType=Color%20Palette)
When I put his colorPalette on the stage with the comboBox component, the colorPalette shows up and works but the comboBox component is not visible or working. I believe I narrowed the problem down to the line listed above. The line is contained inside the colorPalette MC.
Below are the *** for the comboBox and the colorPalette:
