This is rather annoying, hopefully someone knows why.

I create a form that has a bunch of checkbox and combobox components. It all works perfect, and I was really happy with it until this point.

I added a preloader using the preloader component. The preloader works great, here’s the problem.

The combobox’s don’t work anymore, meaning they don’t drop down. Of course this is a huge problem. What’s odd is that the checkbox’s still work.

Now I really have no clue what’s causing this, and oddly enough I can’t find anything on this matter anywhere.

My preloader is a .swf file in itsself. It loads quote.swf - Can this be it?

Thanks
