This component is build for the Flash IDE and ActionScript 3. Take a look at the ActionScript 3.0 reference. It is designed for building Flash Applications. There is also a Dreamweaver version that is build for use in Dreamweaver websites.

Setting the resize options
We set the Destination Folder using the Browse… button to specify where our images should be saved. Make that the destination folder is in the same (sub)folder as your FLA file.

We use the Images fields to specify the width and height of the large images of the wall (these are displayed when a user clicks on one of the thumbnails). You can also specify the file type. We leave them at their default values.

Then we set the values in the Thumbnails fields to specify the width and height of the thumbnails of the wall. You can also specify the file type. We leave them at their default values.

We disable the Crop option as we don't want to crop our thumbnails to have exactly the same size. If you disable this option, the thumbnails will be scaled proportionally to the maximum specified dimensions.

We disable the Sharpen option to use our original thumbnails.

Select the Images tab and select the icon to add a complete folder of images or theicon to insert the images one by one. We'll add our images using the icon. You can arrange the order of your images with the and buttons and delete images from the 3D Photo Wall with the button.
