You can import a BMP, GIF, JPG or animated GIF file from a image editing program (too many to list but one,
Microsoft Paint, is distributed free with Windows, under Accessories in your Start|Programs list).The restrictions are
that the art must be no greater than 24 bit color depth, 72dpi, and no larger than the screen (320 pixels by 240 pix-
els). Note that if you have already loaded an image into either the Before or the After positions the button will reject
art that is a different size. Both the Before and the After image must be exactly the same pixel dimensions. If you do
not load an image into a button, the button is resizeable anytime (it can only be a rectangle, but you can change the
background color to any color).
