Getting ready

For this recipe, we need some images and/or SWF files. Make sure these files are of the following types: .jpg, .png, .gif, .bmp, or .swf.

  2. In the General tab of the properties pane, select Layout2:

  3. Click on the Import button in the Content area and click on the Click to Add Images button in the upcoming window. Browse to your image or SWF file and click on Open. The file is now added to Panel 1. Repeat this step...
