Live Preview has often been a difficult topic to understand. But a
couple of very useful posts are available about it.

But, I wonder if it is possible to include user interaction in Live
Preview. I build components for people who build computer tutors and I
would like to associate contextual instructions with the component that
an author could reference when building a tutor with my components. I
know that I could put instructional text on the stage and hide it if
_global.isLivePreview = false or undefined. But, ideally, the help
could be shown / hidden in the LivePreview. The file mm_livepreview.as
has a stage listener. Also, in that file, it dynamically creates a
movie clip and calls setSize on it. I tried adding onPress and
onRelease event handlers to that movie clip but these don't seem to
work. In the posts that I've read, claims are made that the LivePreview
interpreter is like the flash player but has some differences. I wonder
if I'm out-of-luck trying to add this kind of interactivity.
mc.onRelease = function(){
trace("initHelp : infoButton_btn.onRollOver");
};
mc.onPress = function(){
trace("initHelp : infoButton_btn.onRollOut");
};
