Configuring Billboard Settings
Chapter 12: Defining the End-User Interface
Displaying Billboards
When you add an Adobe Flash application file billboard or an image billboard to your project, you need
to configure its settings.
Task To configure a billboard’s settings:
1. In the View List under Customize the Setup Appearance, click Billboards.
2. In the Billboards explorer in the center pane, click the billboard that you want to configure.
InstallShield displays the billboard settings in the right pane.
3. Configure the settings as required.
For information about each of the billboard settings, see Settings for Adobe Flash Application File
Billboards and Image Billboards.
Previewing Billboards Without Building and Launching a
Release
InstallShield lets you preview a billboard to see how it would be displayed at run time, without requiring
you to build and run a release.
Previewing a billboard lets you see how your billboard will look with the background color, position, and
related settings that are currently configured for your billboard.
Task To preview a billboard:
1. In the View List under Customize the Setup Appearance, click Billboards.
2. In the Billboards explorer in the center pane, right-click the billboard that you want to preview,
and then click Preview Billboard.
InstallShield displays a preview of the billboard as it would be displayed at run time.
To stop previewing a billboard, click the Cancel button in the preview window.
Tip: Previewing a billboard is especially helpful if you want to see how your Flash or image billboard will look with different
selected billboard types. You can preview a billboard, change the billboard type, and then preview a billboard again.
Setting the Billboard Order
Image billboards are displayed in the order in which they are listed in the Billboards view, from top to
bottom.
