Hi All,

setDataProvider is now not working. I have some code that sets a combobox data to an array. Like so:

```auto

comboBox.setDataProvider(myArray);

```

This code was working just fine when it is was main movie, but now I have loaded this movie into a main movie and the comboBox is not being populated. The array “myArray” is being created in the same timeline as the comboBox.

Any ideas for troubleshooting?
