ComboBoxes draw their dropdowns on the _root. If you lock the root in a
nested clip, they'll draw their dropdowns there. This is why you're
getting z-index problems.
Second, if you're having an issue where _height is not returning the
true _height, then store the original height in a variable and use that.
Here is some pseudocode:
var originalHeight:Number = _height;
function getCurrentHeight():Number
{
if (_height > originalHeight && myComboBoxIsClosed) {
return originalHeight;
} else {
return _height;
}
}
