Deleting components from Flash documents

To delete a component's instances from a Flash document, you delete the component from the Library by deleting the component type icon and the associated Component Skins folder.

If the component you want to delete shares a skins folder with other components (for example, the ScrollBar, ScrollPane, ListBox, and ComboBox components, which share the skins in the FScrollBar skins folder), you should not delete the Component Skins folder, unless you want to replace the skins elements with a new set of default skins. Do not delete skins in the Global Skins folder.

To delete a component from a document:

1 | In the Library panel, open the Flash Components UI folder.
2 | In the Flash Components UI folder, select the component movie clip that you want to delete.
3 | Click the Delete button at the bottom of the Library panel, or choose Delete from the Library panel options menu.
4 | In the Delete dialog box, click Delete to confirm the deletion.
5 | Open the Component Skins folder inside the Flash Components UI folder.
6 | Select the skins folder for the component that you want to delete. For information on which skins are used by a component, see the section for the individual component type in this chapter.
| Note: If the skins folder is used by any other components in the document, you should not delete the skins folder.
7 | Click the Delete button at the bottom of the Library panel, or choose Delete from the Library panel options menu.
8 | In the Delete dialog box, click Delete.
