To construct a custom panel interface using the Flash List component, first drag the List component from the Components panel to the library, then remove it from the stage. Assign the main document class.

Deploy the compiled SWF along with the corresponding JSFL scripts and XML configuration into the appropriate Flash configuration directory (specifically, the WindowSWF folder within the Flash installation path):
C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\Adobe\Flash CS6\en_US\Configuration\WindowSWF\
