Hi Warren,
While the displayDropdown method is private, the methods which call it
(downArrowButton_buttonDownHandler & keyDownHandler) are both protected.
You can override these 2 methods and have them call a new private method
which can mimic the behaviour of displayDropdown along with the new
functionality you want to add.
Hope this helps,
Tibor.

I'm want to make a ComboBox on which I can force the dropdown menu to
go up or down. It should be a simple matter of adding a variable and
changing the way the displayDropdown method works. I tried extending
the ComboBox and overriding the displayDropdown method but I can't do
that since the method is private.
How can I do this with my own class ? I feel like I'm missing
something basic here.....
I'm using Flex 3.2.0 SDK
Thanks!
