Rodrigo,

Just choose “Anti-alias for readability” in the Properties tab (“listItem” layer inside the “listItem” movieclip).

can you use the “instance names” of the combobox movieclips?

This is so helpful! Thank you. I have a coding question for you though. Can you help?

I used your combobox and changed the look of it. I then created three different instances of the combobox with their own arrays (so there are three dropdown boxes after publishing). After the selections have been made by the visitor I’m wanting these three selections to work together to create a result which will appear in a dynamic text box after a “calculate button” is pushed.

How do I define these components in my code that is placed on my calculate button. Basically what name am I looking for? I don’t know how the code will specifically look for each selected array.

I can send you an example of what I’m trying to do if that will help. I’d appreciate any assistance.

Thanks!

Hi!
That’s a great idea. The default combobox is really hard to customize.
I just found a problem with this component: Accented labels are not correctly displayed. Eg., ‘Amapá’ shows ‘Amap’; ‘Rondônia’ shows ‘Rondnia’, and so on.
Hope it helps.
Thanks!
