To add images to the library, in the main toolbar select File -> Import -> Import to Library... then search for the desired images in the browsing interface, select it/them, and click Open

Ned, it worked, thanks. Now how do I get it in the time line panel?

To get anything into the timeline panel (besides actionscript code), you select
(click on) the layer and/or keyframe you want to place it in the timeline
panel, and then place the item on the stage by dragging it from the library to
the stage.

Ned, I'm getting the hang of it thanks, a lot easier than any of the help webs.
Another thing I need you to show me, is the interactive part. I want to have a
button that when clicked on it goes a particular picture in the library and
shows it. Basically the path?

You eed to deal with linkages to pull things out of the library, and how that's
done depends on what version of actionscript you are using.

I've never dealt with loading images dynamically from the library, just
symbols (movieclips, buttons). So I can't offer any specific info for that
without doing what you could probably do yourself--research it in the help
files and via Google. That's generally how I solve my own wonderings. If you
turned them into movieclip symbols, then I could help.
