combo box hit area problem

hi

i have a problem with the hit area on resized combo boxes.

when i rezise a combo box, the hit area extends out to the right. ie, when i click to the right of the combo box the combo opens as if i clicked directly on it. this area extends out to about half the width again of the resized width.

i have miltiple combo boxes on the stage at any one time. however, this problem also occurs when i have one single combo box on the stage of a fresh movie. i get a blank stage, and drop a combo onto it. then i resize the combo from a width of 100 to 60. when i publish the movie, the hit area extends out to the right by about 40.

the case is the same when i use the combobox.setSize(num) method. the problem disappears, however if i set the _width attribute of the combo box. the only problem with using this methid is that the combo box and containing text are also scaled...aaaarrrrgh!

please help! this is really causing me a problem and i have no idea of how to correfixificate it!

thank you!
