You need the macromedia extension manager for the MXP files ( [http://www.macromedia.com/exchange/em\_download/](http://www.macromedia.com/exchange/em_download/) ).

But your problem may be this what you are exporting as.

Go to File/Publish Settings. And on the Flash tab make sure Flash 6 is chosen on the drop down menu, then click “OK” then save your file. Since components can’t be used with Flash 5, they are not supported for the Flash 5 player, so you cannot use them if you are exporting as Flash 5.
