Thank you very much. This article (together with a few others and alot of digging around) helped me understand the components.

I have written a small piece on the same subject, as it seems alot of people are still having problems with this.

I am facing a problem with component development where my component contain other components. After pasting my fla file to Components folder, Flash shows other components which are used in my component. I tried your workaround but it doesn’t works for me. Could you please explain a bit on how not to display the default components which are used in my component.

What I have done:
I created a Component Shim for my component by
1.creating a blank MovieClip
2.naming its class as MyComponentShim
3.then converted it to Compiled clip
4. Rename as MyComponentShim
5. Replace default Component Shim with the one I created above and then compile my component again.
6. Paste it to Components Folder.

Please help me with this. I don’t want to display the default components used by my Component.

Looking forward to your response.
