The Components panel

All components are stored in the Components panel. When you install the Flash program and launch it for the first time, the Flash UI components are the only components displayed in the Components panel. You can display movie clips with defined parameters or custom components that you import or create in the Components panel by placing the FLA file containing the component movie clips in the Flash MX/First Run/Components folder.

To display the Components panel:

Choose Window > Components.
