I am trying to make a custom component, and in this component I am using the FLVPlayback component. (not extending, placed on the timeline) When I update the component with my component definitions, it seems to also find the FLVPlayback component definitions. I dont want the user to use the FLVPlayback definitions. Is there a way to hide these definitions?
