sorry to necro an old thread but i still have a problem
file structure:
one index swf that preloads the main swf
main swf that loads in several different section swfs and masks them in a
frame
the combobox is in one of the masked sections
the issue is this:
i have a combo box that uses an array populated by a loaded xml file as a
dataprovider. It all works just fine apart from that when the combo box is
first opened, the first 'page' of entries doesn't render. If the list is
scrolled or an entry is selected (it's fully populated), the entire list
renders properly, including the entry that's selected.
This happens when the site is viewed on a server and when the file is 'test
movie'd on it's own but it doesn't happen when the index swf is 'test
movie'd or when the site is viewed locally in a browser
The cb uses fonts used throughout the site and they are embedded (i've added
the code for the cb below). It's been suggested that maybe the cb is loaded
before the fonts so that it doesn't get a chance to render properly but i
can't see how that is happeneing - i've tried added a textfield with the
fonts embedded make sure that that wasn't it (although i haven't added the
fonts to a frame loaded before the cb - i'm trying that now)
the cb is placed manually onstage and has the following code added on the
timeline:
function init():Void {
xml.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlFile = (xmldata != undefined) ? xmldata : PATH();
xml.load(xmlFile);
xml.onData = function (src:String) {
if (src == undefined) {
this.onLoad(false);
} else {
this.parseXML(src);
this.loaded = true;
this.onLoad(true);
parse(); // creates the arrays
}
}
var cBox:Object = {};
cBox.change = function(o:Object):Void
{
//Selection.setFocus(c); // didn't work
//o.target.onKillFocus=undefined; // didn't work
getGeoEvents(
arrayOfUniversitiesNames[mc_university.cb_listOfUniversities.selectedIndex]
); // sends user to correct tab
lock();
}
// this is the script for the cb
var c:MovieClip = mc_university.cb_listOfUniversities;
c.setStyle("fontFamily", "VAG Rounded Light");
c.setStyle("embedFonts", true);
c.addEventListener("change", cBox);
c.dataProvider = arrayOfUniversitiesNames;
c.text = "Select";
//Selection.setFocus(c); // didn't work
changeTab(bt_tab);
}
