Please help! Creating my first component and struggling. Flash CS4. AS 2.0

Hi there,

I’ve been trying to create my own component for the last few days and so far I’m not really getting anywhere. Let me describe what I am trying to build. Basically I want to create a component that the user can enter 2 image names into and then they will appear on the stage (position not important) but when the file is published, clicking on image 1 will make image 2 appear. So basically image 2 by default would be invisible.

I’ve never made a component before and so far I’m finding the few tutorials that do exist, very tough to understand. I’m a designer and not a programmer and so I really need a simplistic tutorial to be honest. I can easily create a swf that accomplishes the required results but the issue really is packaging the little fella up as a component.

So far I’ve tried a few tutorials to get myself up to speed, for example http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/applications/creating_comps/ but I am not savvy enough really to see how to adapt something like this to accomplish my result.

If anyone could direct me to a simple starting point, be it a book, video, pdf or website I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks guys.
