Hi list,

could anyone give me some pointers on how you would normally implement the
dropdown part in a dropdown box?
Would you reshuffle all components to make sure it's on top, or use a custom
depth manager to attach the dropdown on the fly to the highest level, or?
In addition how would this work in nested loaded movieclips?

Thanks in advance,
JC

ps note that I'm not actually going to, but I'm reviewing a very
unsuccesfull implementation which got me thinking...
