Flex eskimo combobox - textinput is displayed over popup

Question

I´m building a unit converter (degree celsius to degree fahrenheit etc...) in flex 4.6.
I´m using the free eskimo components which provide me useful components and I'm using the combobox component to select a unit to convert.

There is also a textinput to type in a startvalue to convert to the desired unit. Now there is a problem with the display of the popup that pops up when the user clicks on a combobox :

The text of the underlying textinput field is displayed over the popup of the combobox . The strange thing is that the textinput field(border and background) is behind the popup but the label inside of it is displayed over the popup.

Has anyone encountered the same problem?

Answer 1

I recently had the same problem and solved it by inserting

skinClass="spark.skins.mobile.TextInputSkin"

into the TextInput.
