options
The following FileAway options are found on the Properties Palette:

Sorting
Three sorting methods to choose from:

  • Sort by Rows
      Sorts files left to right, top to bottom
  • Sort by Columns
      Sorts files top to bottom, left to right
  • None
      No sorting, files are listed in order they are   encountered

# of Directories
Identify the number of directories containing the files you want to link to. This will open up the same amount of boxes on the palette. In each box pick any one file from each directory to identify the directory. It does not matter which file you choose.

Display Type
The window contains the following options:

  • just text

  •   choose this option if you want the filename
      only to identify each link.
  • text-icon

  •   choose this option if you want the filename
      preceeded by some text of your choosing to
      identify each link. Choose the text in the
      Text Icon #_ bar that opens up below.
  • graphic icon

  •   choose this option if you want the filename
      preceeded by an image of your choosing to
      identify each link. Choose the location of the
      desired image in the Image Icon #_ bar that
      opens up below.
  • drop-down

  •   choose this option if you want the links to
      be chosen by a drop-down menu. Choose the
      drop-down type in the DropDown Type bar
      that opens up below.
  • faux graphic

  •   choose this option only if you own the
      FauxGraphic component.

# of Extensions
Choose the types of files (e.g.: doc, jpg, gif, xls) that you would like links to.

Asset Path
Choose here where you would like the component to place the files on the server. Leaving this blank will place all the files in the root directory.

Upload All Files
This option will cause the component to upload all the files in the selected directory to the server. Still, only the files with the proper extension will be linked to. Use this option if you are choosing to link to external HTML files. A link on that file will work as expected, assuming that all the graphics and other items required by that HTML file are in the same directory as the file (all the assets it needs will be uploaded!).

Columns
Enter the number of columns you would like your output to appear in. Will display links in a table format.

Border
The larger the number you choose the thicker the border of the table will be.

Spacing
The larger the number you choose the thicker the spacing will be between links in the table.

Padding
The larger the number you choose the more area in each cell of the table.

Bold
Choose if you want the link names to be bolded.
Yes or No.

Font Size
Choose the font size of the link names.

Font Color
This option is to choose the font color of the text graphic, but is not available in this version. (If you want to change the color of the links, you will need the FreeStyle component.)

Italics
Choose if you want the link names to be italicized.
Yes or No.

Font Style
Choose the font.

Target
Choose one of these options to specify where you want the links to show up. If you are not using frames, you still might want to select a frame (like "Right") because it will force the link to be opened up in a new window.
