Help with "Unresolved Component" warning

I know this was asked recently, but I think the poster had different set of circumstances, because the advice offered in that thread didn't lead me to a solution. Or else I'm incompetent! Hopefully someone can help me with the issue I'm having.

Here's the scenario:

I get a "Unresolved Component" warning for syntax like this: "createObject('component', 'ss_components.application_methods')"

- 'ss_components' is a mapping on the CF Server, and the application works fine when tested

- My CFBuilder Project folder is located in a different place than the wwwroot. Wwwroot is where all the CF scripts/application files are. Within the CFBuilder project, i have a Linked Folder to the wwwroot folder.

I have the following settings in CFBuilder. Some of these settings are the way they are because I was trying various things out to try and fix this 'Unresolved' problem.:

-Preferences>ColdFusion>Server Settings> (all checked)

-Preferences>ColdFusion>Startup> Index all CFCs... (unchecked)

-Properties>ColdFusion Project>(I have my linked folder here, when I created it, I unchecked the 'Use Link Folder to Resolve CFCs)

-Local Server Settings: blank entry for "Document Root"

I'm aware of the inheretence for finding components and I don't fully understand it since I'm new to CFBuilder, but all I know is that the first place CFBuilder looks for components is Mappings defined by CFServer....  I only want it to look there, since that's the only way I ever refer to components

- Running CF Builder 2, trial on my dev machine which has:

     CF9 installed

     IIS7.5

     RDS Enabled (and works because i can browse the db in CFBuilder)

     CFBuilder was installed as an Eclipse plugin, not standalone.

Please if anyone can help me with this, i would really appreciate it. I've been trying to fix this all day! :-S

Thanks
