    Editting a Combobox?

    How can I change the features of a combo box? ie font size, colour scheme.

    I thought I had it all figured out until I found out that I couldn't read the text as it was too large for the combo box argh

    you can STYLE it.. but if you want drastically changes its appearances, you'd have to re-skin it.. (edit the movieClips that make up the combo box component)..

    How would I do that? I've tried double clicking on it to 'open it up' but it does nothing.

    It seems that all I'm able to edit is the properties, parameters and filters. But, obviously, none of these will change the appearance or font.
