For more information, click the Help button in the dialog box.
Flex Builder integrates a new component in its authoring environment as follows:
• The component appears on the Insert bar and in the Insert menu.
• In Code view, the component tag appears in the code hints, and all its properties and property
types appear in the property code hints.
• If the component is designed to be visible at runtime and you insert it in an MXML file, Flex
Builder displays a visual representation of it in Design view.
Note: Visible ActionScript components do not render in Design view
• If you select the new component on the page, the Tag inspector lists all its properties and
events.
If Flex Builder finds that a component has been deleted from the server, it removes it from the
authoring environment.
This synchronization is site-specific. If you switch to a Flex site that uses a different set of
components, Flex Builder adjusts the authoring environment accordingly.
