Hey guys I have a problem:

I have this movie which has a component (combo box inside).  
The problem is that the movie is masked and when I preview it I only get something like a tinted combo box. I don’t see anything…But when I try to click it the drop down info is ok I mean I see the drop down list but not the drop down button and first data inside.
