So I have a custom component I've made, and it works fine. But now I need to use another component within the custom one. After realizing that I probably need to have an instance of the second component instantiated inside of the first, I go ahead and put it in with the first's other assets.
Then I try to compile the component. The progress bar in the dialog box gets to the end, and then the whole authoring tool locks up (whether I'm exporting to swc or a compiled clip). I go back and remove the second component from the first, and it compiles again. I've tried this with standard flash components and other custom components, and it always locks up. Is there anything special I need to do to get this to work, or am I going to have to find another way to do what I need to do? I could ditch the whole custom component thing, but I want to only go that route if I have no other choice (artist-friendly considerations, and all that).
