[RESOLVED] Dropdown not responding in a movie loaded into another movie

[clem_c_rock]

Hello,

I have a flash program that is loading another flash file into a container movie clip. The flash movie being loaded has a dropdown that works perfectly when the movie clip is run by itself but when it's loaded into the parent movie, the dropdown doesn't even respond.

Hope this makes sense.

Any ideers?

Thanks,

load a copy of the dropdown component you are using to your main movie library. (not to the stage) There needs to be one there and it should work when the other movie loads in.

Yup - that did it - now why didn't I think of that?

You *may* also need to specify:

this._lockroot=true;

On the main timeline of the loaded movie, since some of the code in the ComboBox component and other V2 Components that use the PopUpManager, reference _root.
