At least, that's one idea...
I have a component I use as a frame around my swfs, with various standard UI buttons (help, reset, etc.) RollOver the help button, and some help text appears (dynamic text field, frame 3 of a movie clip).
This component has been exported as an swc, and works fine some/most of the time. But:
In some swfs, my dynamic text described above can't be seen. It's there (I can trace it), I never mess with its colour or alpha, and I'm on the right frame of the MovieClip (there are other graphical elements visible).
Now what's perplexing is that I always can make things work again by removing items from the library - my component might not be working, alone on an empty stage, but then deleting items from the library gets it working again. I can't see any logic as to what these items are (for example, I have been able to get it working by deleting half my library items; then again by reverting and deleting the *other* half)... (actually, it seems that what matters is whether the clips have linkage names for export, whether or not they're actually ever used, and independent of whatever the names actually are)
I'm stuck. Has anyone seen the like?
