Hi
I'm having a bit of a problem with some ComboBoxes.
The ComboBoxes are in a swf that is loaded into another at runtime.
The ComboBoxes work fine when I simply run the swf they're in. But when
I load that swf in, and click on the ComboBoxes a green box bounding the
dropdown is left visible
Thanks Mick
That worked a treat!

This is the intended behaviour. You should fire the change event
yourself. The reason being, know you changed it, so you can call or do
anything else you like at the same time. It's only when the user

I guess I just don't see why you are saving my_cb.selected at all when

You could just get rid of your change handler altogether in your
original scenario
You have to wait one frame before selecting an item in the combo box. Flash
needs to have one frame to draw/instantiate the combo box before you select
something on it from code.

Welcome to Macromedia components. There really isn't a way around this
except to wait a frame or two to draw the combo boxes on the screen (which
simply delays the inevitable) OR download some slimmer components.
I highly recommend the Ghostwire component sets. They've worked very well
for me.
Seems unlikely they could be any harder to skin than the MM combobox :)
I do like the way the finished skinned comobox looks with its
animated dropdown set to ease/bounce, now I guess I just have to
decide if the wait for them to initialize is worth it.

OK, I dumped the ScrollPane Component completely. I have built a MC that has
a few ComboBoxes in it. I place it on the Stage and added two arrow images
to the right as a scrollbar place holder.
I added code to these arrows to simply move the MC with the ComboBoxes up
and down (theMC._y +/- 10).
Holy Crap!!! That totally works!
Now I just hope the hair that I have been pulling out the past week grows
back.
Thanks a million!!

If no selection been made before setSize, the combo is working just fine.
