In one SWF file I made FORM with comboBoxes and it works just fine. That SWF I load in another SWF in empty movieClip with loadMovie method and in this case combo’s are there but I can’t open them ! You can just click on them and nothing happens, only yellow rectangle shows around combo…

Anyone know why ??

Thanx people…

I FOUND THE SOLUTION:

add the following line of code to the movie clip into which you are trying to load the child movie:

\_root.movieClip.\_lockroot = true;

and it works 🙂
