Positioning the textField part of the Combobox Component in CS4

Hi,

I’m trying to move the textField (or the TextInput) part of a combobox up a few pixels… should be easy but it’s not. I’ve tried this:

cb.textField.y+=5;

and this:

and still no luck… I’ve viewed the properties of the TextInput, List, and Combobox components and can’t find anything that will help me do this. I created the class mentioned in the link, and successfully linked the TextInput library symbol, but when I add a trace statement to the class I get nothing. Any ideas?
