Custom Icon Frustration

[benjiemoss]

I built an AS3 component and designed a custom icon. Right-clicked symbol in
library, selected component definition and clicked on the icon button (under
description) to set an icon.

When I select custom... my finder pops up and I can navigate to any folder on
my machine but I can't select an icon, all .pngs (and all other files) are
greyed out.

Possibly related, if I select one of the normal icons (button or something) it
sets the icon correctly but I then can't set the icon back to the default icon
and I still can't set a custom icon.

I originally created the icons in photoshop, but I've also tried exporting
them from Fireworks -- no luck. I also tried finding the default icons in my
installation and editing them but sadly this didn't work either (maybe I looked
in the wrong place).

I'm using CS3 on Mac -- please tell me this isn't a bug, I really don't want
to have to buy a windows copy of Flash just to add an icon to a component.

Nobody?! -- Presumably it's a bug then.

It is a bug. Nivesh at Adobe support was kind enough to email me the solution: you need to enable Version Cue for file operations (Preferences -> General category -> Enable Version Cue).
