You are now ready to test out your new component. Open the Library panel and
drag an instance of the Triangle Component onto the stage. If you test the movie
at this point (Control> Test Movie), you will see a triangle with a base and
height of 10. Exit the test and we will see how we can set the properties to
different values.
You can examine and change the component's properties through the Properties
window, by right-clicking (Windows) or Ctrl-clicking (Mac) on the symbol (on
the stage), and choosing Properties. You may change the values by clicking on
the Value cell and typing in (or selecting, for Color) the new value. When you
have set them to your preferences, test the movie and you will see the triangle
displayed at the set size and tint (if you chose to set applyTint to true).
