I have built my own component that works great, I used this tutorial:  
[http://www.person13.com/articles/components/creatingcomponents.html](http://www.person13.com/articles/components/creatingcomponents.html)  
Thanks to Joey Lott for this one. Anyway I have it all working and in my components folder but now I need to attach it to a text box so it actually is useful, does anyone know how do this? Is it a parameter setting in the component, in the .as file, or is it AS applied after you drag the component onto the stage? I have attached my file which contains the .fla and .as.

Thanks,  
Josh
