Hey Phoenix.

You have to be sure to add the flexcontentholder on the first sublevel of the symbol in flash(first doubleclick the symbol then add the contentholder into that level).

i first missed that and had the same problem as you.

hope it helps.

thanks for that tutorial, this is realy cool!

i have the component installed on flash cs4 and create the component but when i publish and import it into flex, i can add the container but when i try to add something to the container like a button or text, it wont add it on the container via code or draging it to the container…. it only shows the container empty even if i create the correct code…. it only shows the personal panel without buttons…. why is this??

Love the quick and to-the-point videos, Serge. Like Kenneth points out, the containers distort when scaled in Flex Builder. Is it possible to add scale nine grids on these?
