You can use the components in Flash MX 2004 without any problems so long as you are publishing to the Flash 6 player. When you publish your movies to the Flash 7 Player, we have noted some issues with respect to focus management, for example, our FISButton does not receive all the mouse clicks that it should. This issue was discussed with Macromedia, and the problem was determined to be related to a bug in the Flash 7 player. However, this bug may have been solved by the 7.0.1 update (we are not certain).

To workaround the bug, Macromedia suggested adding the following line to the onRelease handlers:

Selection.setFocus(this);

Their comment was that this statement would be necessary for making the component accessibility-compliant. They further added we would have to deal with the yellow focus rectangle by removing it (_focusrect = false) or providing a custom one. Rather than us taking these steps and adding to the uncertainty of how the components would behave even with this fix, we decided to leave this out for this release, since we are in the process of building fully-compliant AS 2.0 components.
