eric, It's quite strange/funny/having_no_sense for me, but in fact ============= component's name of installed component is the name of (!) movie clip symbol in the library BEFORE converting to a component. ============= I have experienced the same thing several times.
So, if you "have been creating MXP files all morning", you've probably use one fla as a base and just Save as.. The solution is to rename movie clip in the duplicated file (or library) and only after this convert to component. BTW, "name" from MXI appears (maybe, I've not checked it ;-) only in descr at MM Exchange. Strange that MM haven't fixed it in Flash 8 (I'm still using MX 2004). -- Best regards, Gregory_GOusable ================================ http://GOusable.com Flash components development.
