Admittedly, I'm new to making components, so please bare with me...

Anyone know how I can force something into the library for my ui component? I've got one working, but when I place it into a new movie, some needed movie clips and fonts are missing!

I've already just included instances of the movieclips I need in the movie and just set their visibility to false, so I'm not SOL there, but the font seems to need to be included in the library with a linkage name to show up! any smarty-pantses have ideas? Thanks in advance!

To elaborate: in my component I have about 6 movies with linkages set up for use with attachMovie. I also have some text fields made via createTextField.
I notice with the existing set of components from Macromedia, when you drag an instance on stage, you get a folder full of everything you need placed in your library. I just don't know how to make this happen with mine. Do I need to make subclasses in my #initclip area or something? I'm kinda lost on this!
Thanks again!
