Flex components is not showing up after deploying to web server

Question

Hello,
I am working in flex builder 2.0 to develop a simple
application.
I am getting some issues around custom components.
My directory structure is as follows:
Project_Folder-
|-Components
|-bin
|-assets
|-Application.mxml
I put all my custom components in Components folder.
I have a custom component in there and the application.mxml
is using
it.
the code is somthign like this:
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="absolute" xmlns:test="Components.*"
backgroundGradientColors="[#000000, #000000]">
<test:baseLayer horizontalCenter="0" top="0"/>
</mx:Application>
Here base layer is the custom component.
My problem is when i ran it it is workign fine, but when I am
deploying it in the apache server teh Custom components are
not
showing up. I copied all contents of the bin folder to my web
server
root.
I am not sure if it will need some extra task to deploy the
custom
component?
I thought since it is in the same project the swf file
already packed
with the custom components.
Please can anyone help me to clarify that?
thank you,

Thanks, this makes sense. Can you tell me how I upload the whole scripts
folder to justhost.com? When I try to select the folder at upload it opens
the folder as if I should then select a single file ( like the
AC_RunActiveContent.js file that is in the folder) So that is what I did.
Which makes sense that the path is now broken for the flash cause it is not
in the folder anymore.  In other words what I don't understand is how to get
my scripts folder and its contents as a whole uploaded to the Justhost.com.
Thanks your email has been very helpful!

I did finally figure out the problem.
In my case, I was putting all of my files directly into justhost.com with no
regard for the way the files were classified in the original folders used to
build my site. In other words, you can't just put AC_RunActiveContent.js into
justhost.com randomly and expect that your Flash will work.
Instead, you have to create a Scripts folder and then put
AC_RunActiveContent.js within the scripts folder.  This sets up the paths to
function the way they were originally created on your Dreamweaver document (or
whatever the html editor you may happen to be using).
Whether dealing with Flash or images, the main thing to remember is that you
have to mirror the structure of your original folders/files exactly.
So try creating a folder called Scripts, then place the AC_RunActiveContent.js
file inside of this Scripts folder, and see if that works.  I assume the foder
AC_RunActiveContent.js is within Scripts, but if it called something
different, just copy the name (exactly), and put AC-RunActiveContet inside of
it.
I hope this helps,
