Karim,
In light of Joel's comments I'd like to suggest a refinement:
import flash.events.*
function updateCursor(){
stage.addChildAt(customCursor, stage.numChildren);
}
comboBox.dropdown.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, onDropdown);
function onDropdown(event:Event){
updateCursor();
}
Give it a try! I think it works quite well.
Regards,
-Keith
