Description: In this tutorial we will be going through steps on how to add images through the component inspector.

Adding an Image Using Component Inspector


To begin make sure that you have the Flow List Component installed using the extension manager, have created a new Flash ActionScript 3.0 File and have dragged an instance of the Flow List onto the stage from the Component Panel (Window > Components).

Next, select your instance of the Flow List and in the Component Inspector (Window > Component Inspector) or Parameters Panel (Window > Properties > Parameters) look for the property called Content. Double Click the "[]" in the value for content and new window will pop-up. Use the + to add an item. When you add an item you can define the Path, Description, and Data of the new item.
  •  In the Path enter either the local or full URL path to the image. 
  • Description is optional but useful if you want a text description or if you are linking to another component. 
  • Data is also an optional field but is useful if you want to add a hyperlink or a large image link if you are using the Flow List in a gallery.
