Combo Box in child swf doesn’t work (flash as2)

Well after struggling for hours on this bug i thought it would be nice to document it here …

maybe i can save some time from other coders.

welp, the problem is that the combo box , in the child swf (loaded dynamicly thru loadMovie or any other method)

is visible and pressed, but it won’t open, and won’t work.

if you run the child swf individually it will work perfectly  , but when you combine them both — > NADA!

well, any guesses ? ……

the thing is that for some reason, you need to have a copy of the combo box component in your parent swf in order for it to work in the child swf , strange solution, but it works~!

so in case someone is looking for the answer for this annoying bug — > thats a simple solution for it,

i’d prefer adobe to do some bug fixing to them components …

(i havn’t checked for the bug in as3 compiled clips, maybe they did fix it in avm1 engine ..)

thats all for now .
