Hi,

I have in my librarary a movieclip with a combobox component,called “comboBox” in it.  
Then I attach the movieclip and provide an array to it.  
And when I test my movie, the dropdown works, but the first item in the array isn’t visible. When I select an item in the cb, it doesn’t show neither.

this is the code I use:

```auto

my_array = new Array("a","b","c")
attachMovie ("mov","mov_mc",1)
mov_mc.comboBox.dataProvider = my_array

```

Does anybody have experience with it?
