About the default root layout region
When you create a new SMIL document, GoLive automatically creates a default root-layout region. This root-layout
region defines the size of the overall SMIL presentation that plays within the player application window (default size
is 320 x 240 pixels). All of the items in your presentation must fit within the root-layout region—any portion of an
item outside the root-layout region is clipped when played in the player application window.

The SMIL Layout Inspector lists the regions for the entire presentation.

In the Regions tab of the SMIL Layout Inspector, click the New Item button . GoLive adds a new region to the
list.

Note:
Changing the default ID is optional and only necessary if you want to use a meaningful name or number to
identify the region.

5
Set the region’s layering order by entering a value in the Z-index box.
