Hey guys, having a problem with a flash form :-(
Im using combo box components for a few fields. When I export my SWF and load it externally inside my main fla, using empty movie clip, the combo boxes don't work. Anyone know why???
They work fine in publish preview and opening the SWF on it's own.
This is the first form I have created in Flash and seemed to be going OK until now.

my first guess would be it's a '_root' issue...
do you have some variables or statements that use '_root' in your form authoring file?...
... change them to _parent as they're now looking on your main swf.
- jysta0
no, all refer to _this.
also not seeing any cursor and text in the text fields. Iv declared
_global.style.setStyle("color", 0x000000); That will seperate the text from the background, even my check box labels have gone.

font issue? stylesheet issue?

Thanks guys, I think I specified an incorrect global style which threw out all the components.
styling forms in flash, not fun. :P

Iv got my form sending data to coldfusion. But all my fields are sending via .text
Some of the fields are check boxes. How would I send data from a text box. .text obviously doesn't work so what would I specify instead of .text ? .Boolean ????

Is it under a mask?
- jysta0
yeah the container that loads the MC has got a mask. The SWF being loaded does not.
Thing is the bottons etc in that movie still work fine. Do I need to put the form elements above all the other layers in the movie?
- jysta0
btw I've tried bumping the container to the top layer to see if that would work but no joy :-(
Prob is I need a mask on the containe to hide elements off the stage in the loaded swf's ...

Embed fonts for each input and double check it isn't under any masks or invisible items.
- jysta0
The text fields, checkboxes etc.. have all been dragged onto stage from UI components lib. I can't see any option to embed the font anyware.

It was the mask issue !
Thanks Mimio, U hero!
Any reason why tho? As i really need 1 for the site.
- Mimio0
I don't really know why it doesn't work. You can embed a font object in flash and then apply it to the UIConponent with AS.
