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.

I have a couple components that have background images and other visual
assets that are not always used. I have created inspectable properties that
allow the user to turn off the images if they do not want them. However the
file size of the component is still the same. My assumption is that the
background images are still downloaded.
My question is it possible to have a component when dragged onto the stage
drop movie clips into the library. This would allow the user to edit those
movie clips or delete them if they do not want them. My hope is to keep the
file size of components down and make it as easy as possible for people to
customize the components when they want to without doubling the size of the
component.
