- Add windows with local or external content
The content documents of the MDI windows can be added by their linkage id when they are located in the item library of the stage. The content documents can also be loaded from external sources such as external swf or image files. - Define windows through the ActionScript or component panel
Windows with content can be added directly through the component parameters panel or content can be added dynamically through ActionScript.
