I installed the Text Layout Flash Component.mxp file and it opened the Adobe Extension Manager CS4 and it's marked as enabled, but when I enter flash and choose create new flash ActionScript 3.0 file and then go to the windows->components menu all I see is the user interface and video components.

anyone knows what's wrong ?

thanks,

Callisto

Did you restart Flash CS4 after the plug-in was installed?

Once installation is complete, you should see in your Flash CS4 application data folder (its in different locations on Windows and Mac, but should be somewhere under Libraries/Application Support/Adobe/Flash CS4. In the Components folder, you should see TextLayout.swc, and in the WindowSWF folder, you should see "Text Layout.swf".

Hope this helps,

I had the same problem. I went to the Application support folder and realized that, since my OS is in French, the Extension manager installed the textLayout component in a new fr subdirectory instead of the original en directory (my Flash is in English). I moved back the file in the correct en directory and everything appeared.
