Thanks for your comment. Looked for ages through the adobe docs and other web pages and yours is the only one that has worked so far.

If you are adding items to a combobox using ActionScript 3.0: First addItems() to the ComboBox and afterwords set the style for the ComboBox.dropdown property. When you first set the style and addItems through actionscript later, somehow the style won’t apply
Apparently the font style is reset, or the display object for the caption is replaced by a new one, and this happens asynch. If you try to apply the style after 50 millisecs, it works…
I found similar asynchronicity problems in other components as well.

Thanks a lot! I also looked in the help. The adobe team should add like common Q/A to each class, for example “How do I change the font size of the dropdown.

Thank you very, very much for the nice and simple explanation!
Especially on how to modify the text in the dropdown menu! I couldn’t find it anywhere! Great help!

Seriously! How did you know about the setRendererStyle() function? It’s not in any of the Adobe docs even though it is a very necessary function! I wonder why they decided to change the function name from the standard used in all other objects only for that one class… yet again, Flash saves the day with its perfectly sensible language decisions and great documentation! NOT!

Thanks a lot for setRendererStyle tip!

I was wondering is there any chance to set fields’ antiAliasType to “advanced”?

thank you for posting:
myComboBox.dropdown.setRendererStyle(“textFormat”, myTextFormat2);

i looked everywhere and couldn’t find a solution that worked and the adobe online help is really not helpful.

I just wanted to say thanks

Even if you create a combobox using only ActionScript, you need to drag&drop an instance of the combobox onto the stage (in your fla file).

You can delete the combobox after you add it to the stage…. the files needed for the combo box will be in the “Component Assets” folder (in the Library).
