Hi there  
I need some help on an issue that has puzzled me for some time. I am usinga Flash CS4 file using Actionscript 2.0  
I have a movieclip and a button and a combobox next to it.

When I click on the button \*\*btn \*\*I use sucessfully the code below to stop the movieclip  
btn.onPress() = function {  
\_root.movieclip.stop();  
}

The question is  
How do I stop the movieclip when clicking on the combobox?

I tried on(dropdown) or on(open) but no help!!!

Thanks
