Hello again, I have two .swf files. A parent swf uses a window component that’s contentpath is equal to the second swf file. The second swf file contains a combobox component. When I run the second swf file the combo box works fine; when I call the same swf from within the first swf (under the window component) the box will not “drop down”… it just sits there like a stoned rock. Any suggestions? ---
