Combo box values not being displayed in new MC

okay so i have a combo box which has 4 values and/or selection. The combo box movie works fine, but when the movie is loaded into my main timeline, the first selection (set in AS) shows up, but none of the others.

Can anyone explain. here is the code that sets the combo box and the code that loads the movie

[AS]
// assigns value
function initCombo(){

drop.addItem("Funky 80'ss Music", 0);
drop.addItem("Your Body is a wonderland", 1);
drop.addItem("FireStarter", 2);
drop.addItem("Stop the Music", "Stop");
trace("stop it stop it");
drop.setChangeHandler("comboHandler");

clearInterval(doable);

}

// loads movie

function getMP3Playa() {
createEmptyMovieClip(“playaContent”, 49);
loadMovie(“smallMC_music.swf”, “playaContent”);

playaContent._x = 98;
playaContent._y = 750;

}
[/AS]

An additional piece of information:

There seems to be a conflict when I press the arrow box. I can navigae with the up and down arrow keys.

Anyone have any ideas?
