Duplicating comboxes

1

Hi everyone,

i’m trying to duplicate comboboxes in a for loop. the comboboxes are populated with data using the additem function from an array of information.

the first combobox is in place at runtime and populated with the data and then, after a user selects how many comboxes he wants, i run a function to duplicate it. this is the easy part…
everything is duplicated as expected, but as for the data in the duplicated comboboxes, there is no data inside of them!
i’ve tried everything and i’ve done this so many times before!

here is part of the code:


var carFieldsArray:Array = new Array (allCars.carMC);
for (var q=0; q<_root.howManyCars;q++) {
     if (q>0) {
         temp = carFieldsArray[q-1].duplicateMovieClip("carMC"+q, allCars.getNextHighestDepth());
                temp._y += 55;                
                carFieldsArray.push (temp);
                carFieldsArray[q].cNum.text = (q+1) + " car";                
            }
            for (i=0;i<_parent.mainXML.childNodes.length;i++) {    
                carFieldsArray[q].carMan.addItem(_parent.carArray*[0][0][0]);
            }

the carArray is the array with the data
the carfields array is an array that i created for easy access to the comboboxes
carMan is the combobox.

thanks!
