Have a look at the fl.livepreview package: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/fl/livepreview/package-detail.html http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/fl/livepreview/LivePreviewParent.html

Hey guys - Quick one here. So I've created a swc code library which I will distribute in an MXP (targeted for CS3/CS4 users only for now). With all other "normal" SWC components, you can add a custom Icon easily + a live preview. It seems that you cannot do these things easily when it comes to creating a code library. The icon issue is not so difficult to get around - You simply un-archive the SWC, add the icon png and edit catalog.xml then re-zip it all up. My problem is that when a user drags the library from the components panel onto the stage they see just a bounding box. Once that loses focus, they see nothing. I've added graphical elements to the FLA which I created that code lib SWC from and it ends up a fraction of the size that it should be, so you can hardly see it. I've even tried modifying catalog.xml to add a live preview swf, and it's the same thing. Has anybody managed to do this successfully? Thanks in advance Sam
