Double click in the grid in a cell of the 20 image lines. A window will then open.
If your page is empty, place your picture in column 1.
2 images on the same column will appear simultaneously.
NB: all the images are integrated into your project only at the moment of the process of creation of the final application. They must therefore be available on your discs otherwise you will get a message "Please insert the CD-ROM inside the drive...".
What image can one add ?
- an image file (BMP, ICO, JPEG, GIF, WMF, animated GIF)
Complete "Choose an image" by clicking on the button arrow.
Select your file then confirm.
If your picture exceeds the size of the project, the software offers to save it with an adapted size in a new file. In a general manner, the resolution of your pictures must not exceed 96 dpi (scanner on format screen or web).
- a solid image
Click on "Create a solid image".
To change color, click on the small color square.
- a gradient image
Click on "Create a gradient image".
Choose between "vertical gradient", "horizontal gradient", "concentric gradient".
To change the colours, click on the colour squares.
How do you position and proportion an image ?
- Visually
- Click on the button "Visual positioning".
- You go to the Mode Positioning. You visualize your project full screen with all the medias.

- Manually
Change the values "Left", "Top", "Width" , "Height".
The origin point (0,0) is the top left corner of your screen.
The point (left, topt) is the top left corner of your image.
How do you make an image appear ?
- Transparency
Change "Filter" (by default "Normal").
Three transparences possibles :
- Transparent white: None of the white pixels of your image will appear (R: 255, G: 255, B: 255).
- Transparent black: None of the black pixels of your image will appear (R: 0, G: 0, B: 255).
- Transparent: The color of the pixel located on the bottom left part of your image determines the transparency color.
- Transtion effects or movements
Change transition effect (by default "Immédiate").
59 transition effects are availables (left-right, morphing, straight, parable, cercle, fade...).
If you select Left-Right, your image will appear gradually from left to right.
Adjust the delay of appearance with "Effect duration" (1.5 sec).
View the effects.
"Broken line" effect (demo and version pro) can be customized.
Simply enter all the x and y differents positions of your image.
Enter just one space char between each position.
- Indicate a pause
Change the value "Pause after display" (by default 0).
Indicate in seconds (with a comma if desired) the duration of the pause you wish to insert after the image has appeared in its entirety.
This pause will be applied to the whole column.
How do you make an image disappear ?
- immediatly
Select "Make all images disappear on this line".
The image(s) previously recorded on the same row will disappear.
- later
Select "Automatic disappearance with action 'Go to Column'".
When the application changes column (action "Go to column"), your image disappears.
This option is very convenient for a summary page. When the user clicks on a choice, it is often necessary to make several elements disappear simultaneously.
How do you make an image reappear ?
Check "Insert in the background".
Your image is then included in the image memory of the project (background).
When you ask for a background reset, it reappears.
This option avoids the need to reload the images. It is convenient for managing a navigation bar or for a contents showing several times.
How do you make the image interactive ?
Click on the "Action" Tab.
- on click.
Select "After clicking on the image".
Change "No action".
Choose among 21 actions (go to page, go to column, go to a web page, open file, print screen...).
The user can thus move around in your presentation, reach a site on the internet, open an excel file or print screen.
- directly after appearance.
Check "Directly after the image appearance".
Change "No action".
Choose among 21 actions (go to page, go to column, go to a web page, open file, print screen...).
- on mouse over.
* To change only the image when the user passes his mouse over :
Complete "new image" by clicking on the button arrow.
Select an image file.
* To change more :
Change "No action" to "Go to page column".
The application is sent back to another place in a grid and can thus make various elements appear or disappear.
* To scroll a long text:
Change "No action" to "Long text up column" or "Long text down column".
Specify your long text column number (ex: text scrolling arrows).
- on mouse exit.
To re-establish the image when the user takes the mouse off the zone :
Select "Repaint first image when mouse exit".
Click on the OK button.
According to your choice, the name of the file, "solid image", "gradient image", or "disappearance" appears in the slot of the grid.
