Question
Accessing components
Hi, I am trying to populate a combo box that I have dragged
onto the stage in Flash CS3 professional, from a separate .as file
(that targets the .fla file).
The code works if I put it in the timeline on a new layer above and I reference comboBox1 from there but not in the separate .as file from inside a class definition. I think I have all the correct import statements in there.
Have spent two days looking in to this but to no avail from web trawling. Any hints?
Is it a problem doing the following.
* Dragging components from flash onto the stage, giving them an instance name
* Working with these from a separate .as (actionscript 3.0) file using this instance name.
I'm obviously missing something because this should be possible I'd imagine.
any help would be greatly appreciated,
