# Playlist properties

These properties define the **Flash content** that will be played by your Flash player element. You can add **a single Flash file** or create a **play list of multiple Flash files** that will be played in sequence.

### **Managing Play List Items**

* **Add** new Flash items to the play list.
* **Edit** existing play list items.
* **Reorder** items using sequence adjustment tools.
* **Remove** items from the list if needed.
* Use **navigation buttons** (at the bottom of the dialog) to move through play list items.
* The **total duration** shows the combined playback time of all listed items.
* Play list item properties depend on the type of content in your element.

> **IMPORTANT**:\
> For detailed information about managing play lists, see **Working with play lists**.

### **Flash Play List Item Properties**

#### **Type**

Defines the **source** of the Flash file. Options include:

| Option                         | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
| ------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Flash from Content Library** | Reference to a Flash file stored in the **PADS4 content library** (recommended). Automatically synchronized across all PADS4 systems. References are **relative** and remain valid even if the library is moved. |
| **Flash from File**            | Reference to a Flash file stored **outside the content library**. **Not synchronized**—you must manage distribution yourself. References are **absolute** and must be valid on playback PCs.                     |
| **No Flash**                   | No Flash file included. Used to create a **pause** in the play list.                                                                                                                                             |

***

#### **Content**

Specifies the **Flash file path**, depending on the selected **Type**.

* Use the **browse button** to select files from the **Content Library** or local file system.
* If **Flash from File** is selected, provide the **full file path**.

***

#### **Duration**

Sets the **duration (in seconds)** for which the Flash content will be displayed.

* If **No Flash** is selected, this defines the length of the pause.

***

### **Remarks**

* Only **references** to Flash files are stored in your presentation, **not the actual files**.
* If the Flash file is updated, the **latest version** will be used during playback.
* **Play list properties are disabled** when the element is connected to a **data provider** — in that case, content is dynamically determined by real-time data.
