Using Components...text doesn't show when clicked.

[NathanLedet]

I'm using a drop down select menu on a form. I'm using it so people can select their state...

When I test the movie, click on the arrow, and choose my option, the text does not display. any ideas?

I'm using Flash CS3, my movie is AS2, and i've opened up StandardComponents.fla and used the ComboBox from that.

Half of my problem is solved.

It turns out that having a mask over my movie is a bad thing when it comes to text input and such...

Embedding my text on input fields solved one problem...Now if I remove the mask, I can see the text on the combobox properly..but if my mask is there (and I really need it there), then I can't see it. I can't really embed the text of the combobox, can I?
