Another solution:
Go to the frame tab in the properties page of your imagedisplay object.

Change the width and height properties so that they match the width and
height of your images.

Then change the X and Y properties to appropriate attributes. For instance
you may write [XPosition] in the X property and [YPosition] in the Y property.

Then go to your list object and set up the two attributes XPosition and
YPosition. For instance you may have the following list:

XPosition       YPosition       Location
50%             50%             Center
25%             50%             Left
75%             50%             Right
50%             25%             Up
50%             75%             Down

We have done something similar (with textdisplay objects) in order to
program a costs and benefits paradigm.

Feel free to ask for more information if necessary.



Hope this helps.
