Drop Down Box Problem

I have a form with several drop down boxes. The boxes work
just fine when I export the movie in to Flash Player. But when I
open website in its browser (firefox), the drop down boxes do not
drop down.



Now I have thought that maybe it is because the swf file
which contains this form is externally loaded into a movie clip.
Would this screw it up at all?



I can email you the two files if you like to look over. Its
REALLY puzzling me!



Thanks

Yes. you need to use _lockroot on the movie clip that is
loading in the SWF.

EX: (my_mc is the movie clips' instance name)



my_mc._lockroot = true;Drop Down Box Problem
Sorry, someone wrot this code for me. Where do I put that in
here?....



And what is the name of the movie clip's instance name?



//set up holding clip

var holder = this.createEmptyMovieClip('holder', 0);



//set up progress bar

var pbar = this.createEmptyMovieClip('pbar', 100);

var pbg = pbar.createEmptyMovieClip('pbg', 0);

var bar = pbar.createEmptyMovieClip('bar', 1);



pbar.pbg.lineStyle(2, 0xFFFFFF, 20, false, 'none', 'none');

pbar.pbg.moveTo(0,0);

pbar.pbg.lineTo(150,0);



pbar.bar.lineStyle(2, 0xFFFFFF, 100, false, 'none', 'none');

pbar.bar.moveTo(0,0);

pbar.bar.lineTo(150,0);

pbar.bar._xscale = 0;



pbar._x = Stage.width/2-485;

pbar._y = Stage.height/2-300;

pbar._visible = false;



//set up loading method

var mcl = new MovieClipLoader();

var lstn = new Object();

mcl.addListener(lstn);



lstn.onLoadStart = function(clip) {

pbar._visible=true;

}



lstn.onLoadProgress = function(clip, bl, bt) {

pct=Math.round(bl/bt*100);

pbar.bar._xscale=pct;

}



lstn.onLoadComplete = function(clip) {

pbar._visible=false;

}



mcl.loadClip('jr.swf', holder);
send me the original files you were working with.

As I stated, using _lockroot solved the problem.
Hey, I wrote that, lol!!!



Kit must have been referencing to _root in the loaded
swf?
the combo box component does.
Yah, thanks Chris, I thought you may have been busy today so
I thought I would post on here too.



I thank you both for your help:)
