I would like certain artwork in my app to be 100% offline, with no connection to the Internet required (meaning it would work fully in Airplane Mode). I know this means the content needs to be local on the device, not pointing to a URL or anywhere off the device. I'd like to self-contain a few BG screen images and the buttons so there is no lag in the load time. How do I set it up to be packaged up with the app? Please forgive me I'm a green-horn newbie, and this process isn't immediately clear to me. I suspect in the screen BG image panel I simply list the file name in instead of uploading it to the BT server or my own server and listing the link- but what then? Where do I put the actual image files? I've tried dropping them in various folders and haven't been able to achieve this yet. Is there anything more to this process that I am missing? Any assistance rendered will be appreciated.

In control panel - type the name of the image exactly as it appears in xcode - and it should then use it offline. Run your app on an iphone to test. Hope this helps.

I tried that a few times before and it did not work, but I think it had something to do with the references to the file, so I re-did all that and it worked. Thanx again guys!
