RE: [Flashcoders] _searchKey???
It's specifically killing my buttons (which are movieclips). It's forcing me to move the mouse slightly before buttons register as clickable again. But that's really the smaller issue. Main problem is that the combobox is having its way with movieclips that have nothing to do with it. I've even tried constantly deleting _searchKey from the clips it's affecting, but as soon as the variable is set, the stage is affected. Scott.

So I'm working on a project that uses the Flash 8 combobox. Everything is dandy until an item is selected from the combobox - at that point _searchKey is added as a variable to all the movieclips on the stage and is interfering with extremely basic functionality. I found _searchKey in mx.managers.FocusManagermx.managers.FocusManager in the First Run/Classes local structure. Apparently it's used to make sure components don't search for something more than once and uses getTimer (); That's all good. Glad it's there. Why would that property now be applied to other mc's on the stage?

RE: [Flashcoders] _searchKey???
You're awesome. I ended up with a more complicated workaround that basically accomplished the same thing :) Thanks again.
