I've got a problem at the step 13.
I cannot click on my rectangle... Because it has disapeared, after I selected in the ink bottle tool properties panel : no fill color and black stroke color.
I can click anywhere with my ink bottle, it doesn't do anything.

Disappeared? Did you erase it by accident? Or maybe you changed the fill color to white?

that's really not that new, expand the tutorial.

You could create your own style/skin for components.

These effect have been around for a few generations of flash, right? But yeah, they are totally awesome.

I still slobber over them! And the resulting SWF is less than 2 KB! Can't beat that. Except with ActionScript maybe
