Hello, i am using flash 8 and the flash 8 combo box component. I have the components being called into a container movie clip on the \_root timeline. I have used this.\_lockroot = true; so that the combo box will work. When you click the scroll bar on the combo box, it just closes it, making it impossible to scroll. Does anyone know what is causing this or a way to fix it? Thanks for any help! q ---

hi, lucky for you i spent hours and hours on this just the other day! you need to drag a comoboxbox componant onto the stage of your main movie (you can than delete it) to add it to the library RANDOM! but it works :beam: ---
