Creating a movie clip for the component

The first step in creating a component is to create a movie clip for the component. The movie clip should contain the graphics you want to include in the component. You can create components to create simple interactivity that affects only the current movie, such as buttons that navigate between frames in the movie. You can also create components that send data to an application server and receive data from a server—for example, in a web form that collects user input on a commerce site.
