Hi

sorry if this has been asked before. i’m using some components in my flash movie (xmlconnector, dataset, etc) and for some reason where the icon normally displays on the stage where i dropped it on, it now only shows a square. and i cannot interact with the component. anyone know how to fix this. thanks in advance 🙂
