Next, you import a placeholder image representing the size and position of a Flash-based photo slideshow that will be on the final web page. Placeholder images are valuable for representing how a composition element will look without having to accommodate the large file size or having to build the complex element in its final form.

  1. Select File > Import and browse to the following folder on your hard disk:

    local_sites/cafe_townsend/fireworks_assets/

  2. Double-click slideshow-placeholder.jpg.
  3. Position the insertion pointer about 6 pixels below the banner graphic you imported earlier, and then click to insert the slideshow placeholder.
  4. With the placeholder image still selected, use the arrow keys on your keyboard to adjust its position on the canvas.

    The placeholder image is correctly aligned if the values of its X and Y coordinates in the Property inspector are 0 and 98 respectively.

  5. Click anywhere outside the selected image to deselect it.
  6. Save your work.
