Hello, I have a little problem with my combo box. I have added items to it but when it displays none of the items are visible, it is just blank.  
The next problem is that when I open the combo box and select one of the items on the list all of the items on the list disappear.  
I have tried using exactly the same code in a new movie and I’m not getting these problems and the combo box is is behaving normallly.  
[AS]  
function changeCB(evt) {  
trace(evt.target.selectedItem.label);  
}  
dust\_mc.list\_cb.addEventListener(“changeCB”, this);  
this.dust\_mc.list\_cb.addItem({data:10000, label:“Ten Thousand”});[/AS]  
Has anyone come across this before?  
Cheers guys:)
