Is there any info on skinning the MediaPlayer component new in 2004?

I went to Macromedia’s site and found instructions to find this file: …\Macromedia\ Flash MX 2004\language\Configuration\ComponentFLA.fla.

(btw, I actually found the file in “First Run” folder)

After making a copy of the original, I modified the component’s graphics, tested it and it looked great. But then, it for some reason it didnt translate to any other of my projects. How exactly do I apply the re-skin???
