I have components that extend MovieClip in which I'm using an "onUpdate" handler to perform a live preview. Define this handler function/method to perform whatever visual updates you require on the Stage. Presuming you compile the clip to a SWF, this handler gets invoked each time a parameter in the Property panel or Component Inspector is changed.
