Fireworks Component

Sorry to hear you’re not satisfied so far. But I probably could have helped out, as I usually do insofar as I can, to facilitate adjustments to your/customers needs, if you had contacted me directly per email. And of course that offer still and will always stay as such, no offense taken

About components, I’ve been almost doing that solely since around 2002 in compiled and non-compile forms, and I can safely tell you that the purpose is not nessesarily to always close-compile contents, that only makes them partly not editable. The amount of editability I leave open varies depending on the specific item, and I’m actually un-”compiled-clip”-ing a number of them for reupload on FD.

In this particular item, it does offer all nessesary component parameters in Inspector, as shown on preview image, and leaves scripting in compiled form. The ‘don’t remove contents’ makes complete sense since removing any from within the component will leave it non-funcional. About the need to have the nine buttons on stage, that’s not correct, you merely need to select “export in first” frame property to avoid that. Which is not default since assets and SHIM are placed on component second keyframe, as adobe documentations will explain will make them available for component funcionality when you drag them on stage. Exactly for this reason you do NOT need to have them on stage as you mentioned, as well as why this is the same reason it will NOT increase file size nessesarily.

Once more, I do regret you’re not happy with it so far and you can always contact me for the non-compiled form or request changes made. About refunds you’ll have to contact FD and see what options your have.

It suddenly dawned on me that with “don’t remove movieclips” you may have meant the component itself. But actually that means the movieclip assets inside frame 2 of the component itself. Obviously you can remove the component from the Library. And with that you by the way emphasize my point about non-compiled components -> It does not export-in-first-frame so if at any point you choose not to use it and not delete it from Library, it will NOT increase files size, which compiled clips with common export-in-first frame do.

Anyhow, if you need assistance, email me directly

glad you liked it

It’s the period where the fireworks are moving upwards to their final position. P
