Hello Wade, All component's assets will be "downloaded" in any case, especially is you use compiled clips.
But there's one little thing: in published movie, the libraries of component and host movie are joined. So, if your component uses "Symbol_1" from it's own library, but host movie has it's own version of "Symbol_1", component will use the latter. This allows us to skin components :-). For you task, I can suggest that you provide a list of assets (open FLA or just list of names - your choice) you'd like users to edit. Then, in published movie, user's version of asset(s) will be used. -- Best regards, GregoryN ================================ http://GOusable.com Flash components development.
