BUG: When a mask is used over the map component, the copyright and MapTypeControls Fonts (possibly other control fonts) are hidden. The buttons still work.

Originally, the map itself didn’t have a mask, but was imported into a wrapper banner ad that had the mask – same issue. It took a while to isolate what the issue was. Hope this helps someone out. I’m posting images to showcase it:

Instead of using timeline, just use actionscript:

map.mask = mapMask;

Simply add this to your actionscript:

yourComboBox.drawFocus = “”;
yourComboBox.dropdown.drawFocus=”";

That should disable it. There. That’s a headache I hope I can spare you. I can’t tell you how long I worked with “_focusrect” and “focusRectEnabled” before find that solution.
