I've got a movie that loads a movieClip which has several comboboxes and listboxes in it.
After figuring out that I needed to lockroot my loaded mc so that the components worked, now I'm fighting the battle to remove the focus areas so those green rectangles don't stay active.

I'll recommend venting frustration in the Adobe Flash Forum. . I tried it extensively with the ComboBox and ColorPicker V3 Components, and i found that: . ColorPicker is opened via code, stage focus is not given to the component.

I managed to set up listeners for most of the components (side question here...is there a way to set up one listener for several components just to remove the focus??), and got everything working EXCEPT...
I can't get rid of the green rectangle on the dropdown for the comboboxes!!
I'm removing the focus from the combobox itself with the following:
var bag_cbListener:Object = new Object();
this.bag_cb.addEventListener("change", bag_cbListener);
bag_cbListener.change = function() {
bag_cb.drawFocus="";
bag_cb.dropdown.drawFocus="";//this doens't seem to affect the dropdown at all

Although it seems easy at first , it requires some attention and focus to execute . well written automation scripts save time and reduce frustration . Then we need to determine what pattern is to be used , eg combobox uses

and I've tried to set up a listener specifically for the dropdown, but that didn't work...
I put the files up at http://www.brianwpiper.com/combobox.zip and you can see the problem if you run the test.swf, which loads in the testCB.swf.
Thanks!!

I had thought that I had fixed the problem on the one listbox I had also, but then I scrolled the list, which apparently isn't handled within the "change" function, so now I guess I need ANOTHER listener to handle the scrolling...this seems a little crazy...
Thanks!!
Here's the command...found it in AdvancED ActionScript Components...
_global.BB.diff_cb.drawFocus = null;
_global.BB.diff_cb.dropdown.drawFocus = null;
Works like a charm, and no listener required!!
Anyone??
