Ho ho ho merry xmas folks can someone please have a look at this bizzare pic and tell me why the dropdown list actually goes behind a mc on the stage that is on a layer below it? I've delved into the classes for comboxBox and seen something to do with Depth and PopUp Managers but i dont want to touch those in case they break other components. FYI - the comboBox component classes are preloaded in the loader movie on level0, but the one you see is on about level3 in a control panel swf, if this ordering has anything to do with it.

Hope someone can offer me any pearls of wisdom.

OK - i just fixed it. For some reason, i was loading swfs building up in layers on top of the root starting from level 0, which had the preload instances of my comboBox and other components on it. When i cranked up the levels so swf's start loading in on top from level 1 instead of zero , it started to work. Its as though the depth of the dropdown got over written somehow when i loaded another swf into this level as if its overwriting itself. Hope you do not have the same problem! ! !
