Initial Description 
This is the most simple example of a ComboBox created in AS3, based mostly on Adobe's example from http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ActionScript/3.0_UsingComponentsAS3/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118a9c65b32-7fa9.html

Inside the zip file you will find two folders. The first is this example with a ComboBox dragged onto the stage of the FLA with a supporting .AS file to populate it and make it work. The second example shows a ComboBox created and populated entirely by actionscript.
