Macromedia Flash - Creating components in Macromedia Flash MX

Creating components in Macromedia Flash MX
Components are Macromedia Flash MX movie clips with defined parameters that are set during document authoring. Parameters correspond to variables in the ActionScript attached to the movie clip, which control the behavior and appearance of the movie clip. In this tutorial you'll learn to create:
A button component with parameters for a customizable button label, label font, and label color
A custom icon for the component to appear in the Components panel when you add the component to the Macromedia Flash MX application
A plain text or XML description of the component that will appear in the Reference panel
A Live Preview movie that enables users to see the effects of different parameter settings while working in the Macromedia Flash MX authoring environment
A custom interface for the component, to make it easier for users to enter parameter values
