Component not showing in Flash CS 5.5 (Windows 7) #97

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download any of the as3commons .swc component file
2. Copy to either: AppData\Local\Adobe\Flash 
CS5.5\en_US\Configuration\Components or a custom directory (defined in 
Preferences)
3. Restart Flash
4. Create a new Actionscript 3.0 Flash file (FLA)

Upon restart, Flash detects components in the related directories. The 
component should now be listed under the Components panel, but it isn't. 
as3commons swc files I tried were Logger and UI.
I have tried switching the swc file among various other directories, but none 
has worked.

To confirm, I published some components of my own, as well as tried other 
components. They would show in the Components panel as normal.

Using: Flash Professional CS 5.5, Windows 7

Also tried "Reload components" menu option from Components panel.

as3commons is a "code" library. Right now we do not have a "visual" flash cs5 
component library. To use it in Flash Professional you just have to add the swc 
in "File > ActionScript settings" as Library. Then you can use it simply in 
your Actions panel.

But rest assured: I will send out a mail to the mailing list that explain this 
"confusion" as its a quite interesting point of view - Perhaps we can form a 
discussion about "how" and "if" to support Flash Professional.

Thanks for letting us know how you use it. This way we can adapt better to the 
communities needs.
