Applying components

[sc123]

I'm missing something obvious. When I download components (for fades and other nifty things) they all say to drag and drop them over the symbol (usually a movie symbol). Well I do that and it just drops the component object into the symbol or stage itself. I'm using Flash MX 2004 Pro. What am I missing?
Thanks
