I’m trying to get a component combobox working in a movieclip. It works fine on the main timeline, but doesn’t do a thing when I stick it in a MC. The only info I’ve been able to find about it involves dynamic movieclips… I’m not quite up to that standard yet!

So… does anyone else have trouble with this? I hope it’s possible… the only other way I can think of doing what I want is to play with visibility on each and every combo… yuck!

Thanks heaps,
