Adding a description to the component

Adding a description for your component is an optional step. You can add a plain text or XML description to help users understand the function of the component. Both types of descriptions appear in the Reference panel. With the XML description, you can also add the component name to the Actions toolbox in the Actions panel, and to the contents list in the left pane of the Reference panel.

Note: Reference panel descriptions for components are not supported in Macromedia Flash 5.
