Set Content

    The Content Pane component allows a wide range of content -- file (txt, htm, html, swf, png, gif, jpg), text (unformatted text or html), or a symbol from the symbol library. A initial transition effect can be applied to the content.

    At this time, any content file must be in the same directory as the animation on your local disk and on your file server.

    If you are having trouble with foreign language text:

1) Open NotePad.
2) Enter the text.
3) Save the file as UTF-8 file*.
4) Use this file as content to the Content Pane.

* Bring the text into Windows Notepad and save with Encoding set to UTF-8. Unicode encoding will always show the correct text if a font is installed on the end users computer that supports the characters in the text, for instance, Japanese characters. Another approach is to save the file in a non-Unicode format like Shift-JIS. It is necessary with this approach to include action script in the movie that tells the player to use the user's code page to display the text.
