When the window is being resized the images ‘flow’ with it.
( So this site can be used by different sized viewers)
I have tried doing this with RPL but can 't seem to get this under control. The images move in strange groups or not at all. Or every time in a different way.
Succes, I inserted a Graphic Element into a Graphic element, one for text, one for image.
Unfortunately, I lost the SWF possibility.
Made, like you suggested (freeway cast), I can put easily a SWF into, Freeway recognizes it as a Flash. No problem.
But 2 Graphic Elements, as described above, does not work.
Odd.
I inserted a Graphic Element into a Graphic element, one for text, one for image.
This isn’t necessary. Just double click inside any graphic element to get flashing cursor then type in your text.
Keep in mind that graphic text is not searchable by Google or anyone else. It will benefit you more to use an html text element with descriptive copy that relates to graphic.
It seemed a great idea but the ‘image caption action’ can only be applied to a ‘graphic element’. (not to a ‘Flash’ or in my case a SWF)
I still find it strange that the SWF’s work perfectly in the freeway-cast, as Thomas above suggested. (I did exactly that but changed the color by the SWF)
An image + text also works but SWF + text I can 't seem to get working.
Thanks for the ideas, if you have more, please let me know.

See how the text stays linked to the image, even changing the window size. I 've seen this work with SWF 's too.
This is dealing with an entire so called inline box model which will mean:
Once inline ever inline.
Problem3:
How to explain this without generating a lot of more trouble if somebody is not used to use inline stuff?
Brief:
Start with a new empty page. Make sure to set page orientation to none.
Double click into the page to see the flashing cursor and choose insert → HTML item. Set this on 100% width in the inspector. Call it wrapper.
Double click into the wrapper to see the flashing cursor and choose insert → HTML item. Set this on 80% width in the inspector and set margin to (choose from picker) custom and check the “center horizontal …” Call it content-div.
Double click into the content-div to see the flashing cursor and choose insert → HTML item. Set this on width x height as you want (220x300) in the inspector. Call it column1. Set column1 on margin custom, right and bottom 20px.
Choose column1 and hit cmd-D as often as you want to have columns.
Save, preview in browser and resize browser window.
Thanks you very much, Thomas for your efforts.
I will try your method later this week.
In the meantime I have pasted a little HTML-box as a child (for text) into the patent HTML-box (for SWF) and that also seems to work but needs to be tested more.
I hope you are not angry for me stretching Freeway
I have been a long user and always satisfied.
Also @DeltaDave: It is for a portfolio like website and I am looking for a way to easily change and increase content. I use the SWF 's instead of the Caroussel Action cause I find it easier to handle.
I must also add that I think ‘web’ times are changing and the age of clicking from page to page is a bit gone.
Thank you all for the ideas and I will keep you posted!
I’d like to strenuously disagree with this point. The trend in recent years has been toward what is known as the “semantic Web”, and one of the principal tenets of that movement is to ensure that any unique content available on the Web is available at an unique URL.
Flash breaks this paradigm by hiding all of its content (often multiple resources from a human point of view) behind a single binary (and opaque to machines) endpoint.
If you cannot express a URL to reflect the current state of your page, consider it hidden. If that’s your goal, then fine, but most people go to the trouble and expense of posting content on the Web so that it can be found.

Flash indeed in on his way out. And indeed a website should be found and looked at.
I just meant I don’t want a website anymore that goes like ‘click, click, click, click, click, click,…’
I just want one that shows all content in one view. So people can easily and fast see what it 's all about (and then click if they want more).
And sure SWF is not the way to go about it.
For me it 's -at this moment- the only option to reach my goal.
I just might rethink the design
Anyway, it is working now how I want it.
(Sometimes I just wanna know: ‘does it work?’ and ‘it must work’ and then decide it not the wright way…)
Can I just say that viewing your site on iOS (which doesn’t support mouseover) is a pretty bland experience as all you see are low res greyscale images.
There really isn’t much to draw you in using iOS. Maybe you should use the iPhone redirect action to take those users to a page that is more visually appealing.
