The Resources Panel Component corresponds to the Resource Field and the Resource URL Field in the Sample Data file.This panel is typically used to display a thumbnail image relating to each Sample Data item in the list. Valid Resources Panel file types include the following:  
 
·JPG  
·SWF  
 
A SWF type resource can simply be an image in SWF format or alternatively it can be an actual Flash Movieclip. This provides designers with the opportunity to embed non-trivial flash movies into a Pollstar100 Application.  
 
Another feature of the Resources Panel is the ability to associate URL links with Resource Panel Sample Data items. The Resource Field in the Sample Data file contains a reference to the resource file. The Resource URL Field in the Sample Data file contains an associated URL. If the designer provides a URL then the resource thumbnail items become clickable and provide the end-user with the means to drill into more detail concerning a specific data item. Furthermore, hits on any such defined URLs can be recorded and totals for each Sample Data item displayed on the UI via the Hits View.
