hello smazherhg.

there is a sample chapter of creating custom tools and XML to UI dialog box:
http://www.friendsofed.com/books/1590593049/3049.pdf

from the book Extending Flash MX2004:
http://www.friendsofed.com/books/1590593049/

to add a tool to your toolbar: once you have your jsfl, xml and icon in the Tools folder, you would then navigate to Edit->Customize Tools Panel.
