i usually build custom ‘components’ rather than trying to skin flash’s components.

I’m using two combo boxes and a submit button inside a clip, inside a clip inside a .swf that gets loaded into another.

of course everything works when i ‘test movie’ as soon as i put the files on the web server… the components all go dead on me.

I know it’s not a scope issue. all my code uses relative paths/scope.

what gives?
