No, you are correct - your application directory is also searched for SWCs.
Its just common for people who use SWCs with more than one application to put it in a common directory in the library path (like user_classes). The classes in the SWC should follow the same rules as source - you'll need to set a XML namespace to match the package prefix in order to use the classes as a tag. It sounds like there are other issues, though. Have you looked at the server log? Are there any error messages when it tried to load the SWC? -Roger Roger Gonzalez mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > -----Original Message----- > From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of JesterXL > Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2005 9:13 AM > To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com > Subject: Re: [flexcoders] SWC's in Flex > > I have an SWC that I can just drop next to my main > application mxml, insert > it, and run it.
