Hi guys,
I’m a new-comer to the forums, but I’m hoping you can help me out just the same.
I work for a language-learning company, and currently I play the role of Flash developer. I’ve spent the last 2 months or so developing our online product demo, which allows users to try our product out in a language of their choice. It’s all XML-driven, so it’s really easy to plug-in new content. The problem is that as we add more languages, it has become apparent that my interface will not accommodate a larger selection list.
So to fix this I put a ComboBox component in, thinking that the user could just select his desired language that way. The problem is that the ComboBox breaks my movie. I had developed an accordion-tab style interface in the demo, allowing users to navigate between several different panes of options. With the ComboBox present, the accordion tabs start breaking down. Even worse, the ComboBox itself doesn’t appear or work- although, if I paste the same exact code in an empty FLA it works fine.
After further experimentation I’ve discovered that simply having the ComboBox in my library (or alternately, simply importing its package) causes my accordion tabs to break.
Now, unfortunately I am not able to post my application code because of company policy. (It’s also quite large.) I was hoping that perhaps some of you may have ideas as to why this may be happening though? I’m at a loss, and would appreciate any helpful ideas, URLs, etc. that you could provide me with.
Thanks!
