Ok having this wierd problem. I have a combobox that gets dynamcially attached to a movie. When it gets attached, the combo box is filled with selections through DataGlue, blah blah, everything works fine.

Now, If I hide the movieclip that the component is attached to by setting the clip's visibilty to false, and then go back to that clip and make it visible again, the combobox doesnt work. It just shows whatever was the last option picked, and wont drap down the menu when you clik on it.

I've been seatrching but cant find an answer for this one.

What do you mean by "go back to that clip" ? Did it go away ?

Check debug-list Object. There are many many object there because of combobox. Try to find whether there are two copies of the clip which you attach combobox.

As in i set the mc's visibilty to false, then set it to true again.
