Combo boxes not dropping down

1

Hi All,

I have searched for anyone else that has had this problem and the closest I found was back in May. However the fix listed for that person did not work for me.

I have two combo boxes on a movie clip and when I click either one they do not drop down and if I change the value they do not enter the change handler. :frowning:

I have named one indtype and the other indgraphic they both have change handlers set that are at the parent movie level.

I have tried replacing the combo box with the one from the component panel to no avail :sigh: and was wondering if anybody else had experienced this problem and knows how to fix it?

Thanks in advance, any and all help appreciated.

[AS]my_comboBox.setChangeHandler(“myHandler”);
function myHandler(component) {
var which = my_comboBox.getSelectedItem().label;
trace(which);//trace selected item
}[/AS]

Thanks for the suggestion Claudio,

here’s the code that I’m using

onClipEvent(load) {
myname = _parent[this._name];

this.namebox.onKillFocus = function() {
	//_root.changeIndNameText(myname);
}
//indtype
// change handler for the indicator type
// combo box.
this.indtype.setChangeHandler("changeIndType");
function changeIndType(component) {
	trace("In changeIndType");
	trace(indtype.getSelectedItem().label);
	//_root.changeType(myname);
}
// indgraphic
// change handler for the indicator graphic
// combo box.
this.indgraphic.setChangeHandler("changeIndGraphic");
function changeIndGraphic(component) {
	trace("In changeIndGraphic");
	trace(indgraphic.getSelectedItem().label);
	//_root.changeType(myname);
}
// stop on the blank frame so that no details shown
// until an indicator is selected.
this.gotoAndStop(2);

}

This is on the movie clip that holds my two combo boxes.

Can you see anything obvious that I’ve done wrong? None of my traces show up.

Thanks,

Liz
