Embedding a .swf published in Catalyst in another Catalyst project

Question

Ok,
i've been trying different things but now i can't figure it out.
It's actually a school assignement where we have to create an interface similar to a smartphone.
Me and my partner decided to create a Catalyst project for each page and publish each of them in swf. Then, we wanted to create a main Catalyst project that was embedding each swf in different states.
BUT
It just doesn't work! The embedding doesn't work.
Is the swf published in Catalyst actually  compatible to embed in Catalyst?
Thanks!

A custom component is like other components like buttons, scrollbars, etc.  except you get to define all the behaviors and states.
Try this
1. draw a sqaure
2. right click and choose Convert Artwork to Component > Custom Component
3. Now double-click the custom component to edit it
4. Create a few states and modify the square in each state
5. to exit editing the custom component double-click the white area of the artboard
6. Now add a button to the app
7. With the button selected go to the Interactions panel and choose "On Click, Play Transition to State" and pick a state of your custom component.
Notice that in this example the application only has one state, but a custom component with multiple states was able to capture different appearances of the app.
You can think of designing your app by breaking down the functional parts into custom components. For example: navigation bar, content area, ad area, etc.
Regarding "export library":
After creating a custom component or customizing a built-in component like button you will notice that the library will contain an item representing the definition of that component. When you export as an fxpl file, all components in your library are exported.
