Hi, I am using a combobox in a swf that is externally loaded into the main movie. My prob is that everytime I make a selection, it leaves the nasty halo green border behind. I’ve looked for 3 hrs for the solution to no avail. I’ve heard this is a focus issue, can someone please help me?

I’ve tried this like many have said:

myComboBox.drawFocus = “”;  
myComboBox.dropdown.drawFocus="";

but for some reason it still wont work. I’ve pasted that code in the combobox fla and the main file, but no go. Any ideas? Thank you!
