I was in the same boat as Ruben, I need to load in a combobox, but couldn’t have the additional file size in the root SWF. _lockroot=true; worked for me, but I had to put it in the initial SWF in the movieclip that loaded in the next SWF that contained the combobox.

Thanks for the tips.

I think it is just like scripting…

you got to have the combo box in the root’s lib so that the function of combo box is included or something like the script that starts with import mx.somehthing.anything.*; to include the combo box function.

i just included the combo in my root’ lib and it is working fine.

The problem with that solution is that it will increase the size of the root swf. Just put the combobox inside a movieclip and in the first frame write this._lockroot = true;

yes,
as i wrote above you just need to put the combo box in the parent swf as well, and then it will work….

strange as it seems, it works.
