[using flash 8 pro]
I am so out of my league here it isn’t even funny.
I need to develop interface components, similar to the list and combo box components, that will allow the user to choose from around 25 search criteria and then click a “GO” button to send their search request to a database. Some input text fields will be needed as well.
I am writing this because my experiments with the components in Flash 8 pro have revealed they stop working if any movement is applied to them. I need to use them in a movie clip that moves around. To help explain, I have attached the entire thing here. Run the swf, click on the big “Search” button and you’ll see what I’m talking about. The list component there should have two rows of text visible: “blah1” and “blah2”. There is no text.

All I need help on is:
-Should I use components to do this? I’ll need lists, comboboxes, and text entry fields.
-Should I custom make the UI things I need?
-Is this even the right way to design such things that interact with a database?
