Just a question as an aside,
Did you try to install one of these non-existent components?
Install?... Well, we had placed components of our own in the Director components folder, which we needed for one project. It was the removing part that didn't work. The component names had been cached...
I guess I should have said: 'try to use' (instead of 'install')
Did Director give a useful error msg, or did something not so nice happen?
Letsee, "useful error message"... ah no. My component library panel still showed all the removed components, though adding them to the cast would only make a phantom (non-component) cast member. Also, since we had replaced "Text Area" temporarily... that button disappeared from my tool palette, even though the textArea.SWC was still in my components folder. Basically, Director lost its mind, and was using ONLY the cache to determine what components to use. No errors or messages of any kind. Just basic loss of functionality.
If I remember correctly, that file gets rewritten upon quitting - Did these ghost components show in a later session?
