is it possible to set a Combobox Component on an angle? i have a desgin with a
-5 degree rotation. There is a desire for a combo box, but after placement, and
populating items, the box still insists on expanding at a 0 degeree rotation- i
need it to stay within design restrictions....is this possible?

nope - afraid not. the only way to do it would be to build your own with a MovieClip.

turns out this is possible...i had to play a bit with an extended class, but
essently it worked like this. I placed the CB on the stage at it's angle. Then
on the open method, i added in a call to kep the rotation the same. As well i
had to embed fonts, since fonts will not show at angle without being embeded.
When all was said and done, i had a combo box open at an angle...and best of
all, scrollable.
