Thank you for that fine idea to set a parameter and turn the instruction
on and off that way. I suspected that it is not possible to interact
with a Live Preview movie but I've never seen any documentation to that
affect.

Not sure what exactly you're having problems with.
If you want the component (on stage) to be interactive, that's not going to
work (AFAIK).
You could create a paramater available in the Property Inspector to toggle info
on and off.
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class LivePreviewTest extends MovieClip {
private var __showInfo:Boolean = false;
function LivePreviewTest() {
}
private function setShowInfo() {
trace("LivePreviewTest ::: setShowInfo");
trace(" - showInfo: "+__showInfo);
}
[Inspectable(defaultValue="false",enumeration="true,false")]
function get showInfo():Boolean {
return __showInfo;
}
function set showInfo(val:Boolean):Void {
__showInfo = val;
if(_global.isLivePreview) setShowInfo();
}
}
regards,
Muzak

Subject: [Flashcoders] Trying to understandi Live Preview
Live Preview has often been a difficult topic to understand. But a couple of
very useful posts are available about it.
http://readlist.com/lists/chattyfig.figleaf.com/flashcoders/0/243.html
http://proalias.com/pipermail/flashcomponents_proalias.com/2005-April/000159.html
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");
};
