RE : [Flashcoders] combobox still giving grief ...
In regards to this part of your question: --- If the list is scrolled or an entry is selected (it's fully populated), the entire list renders properly, including the entry that's selected. --- Can you force or simulate whatever event or function is fired when any of the above occurs?, before the user actually does anything? ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] combobox still giving grief
i've tried amending the combo box to instantiate it on the fly and that
doesn't seem to work either
// first attempt using the component as an mc
//var c:MovieClip = mc_university.cb_listOfUniversities;
//var c:MovieClip = mc_university.attachMovie("ComboBox",
"cb_listOfUniversities", mc_university.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:74,
_y:133.6, _width:245});
// second attempt using createClassObject
import mx.controls.ComboBox;
var c:ComboBox = mc_university.createClassObject(ComboBox,
"cb_listOfUniversities", mc_university.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:74,
_y:133.6, _width:245});
c.setStyle("fontFamily", "Lloyds TSB VAG Rounded Light");
c.setStyle("embedFonts", true);
c.addEventListener("change", cBox);
c.dataProvider = arrayOfUniversitiesNames;
c.text = "Select";
//Selection.setFocus(c);
changeTab(bt_tab_university);
unlock();
