50 Working with Components
The Components panel
All components in the user-level configuration/Components directory are displayed in the
Components panel. (For more information about this directory, see “Where component files
are stored” on page 14.)
To display the Components panel:
■ Select Window > Components.
To display components that were installed after Flash starts:
1. Select Window > Components.
2. Select Reload from the Components panel pop-up menu.
Adding components to Flash documents
When you drag a component from the Components panel to the Stage, a compiled clip
(SWC) symbol is added to the Library panel. After a SWC symbol is added to the library, you
can drag multiple instances to the Stage. You can also add that component to a document at
runtime by using the UIObject.createClassObject() ActionScript method
.
NOTE
The Menu and Alert components are two exceptions, and cannot be instantiated using
UIObject.createClassObject(). They use the show() method instead.
