Andy, thanks again for your response. :) Unfortunately, I just had the requirement to publish for Flash Player 6.0 and found that my combo box stopped working. Apparently lock root is not available in 6.0. Is there another way to lock the root in flash player 6.0?
Any help you can provide is appreciated!
