Launch image location in AIR for iOS

I have two launch images for a game I am making with AIR for iOS, titled Default.png and Default@2x.png. I cannot find where to place them so that they are used when openning the game. Adobe's documentation says they should be in the root directory, so I put them in the same folder that the .ipa file was created in, but that did not seem to work (I am using a 4th gen iPod Touch for testing, so it does not take long to load the game, but I thought I would at least see a glimpse of it). I also put the launch images in the AppIconsForPublish folder that Flash created when I imported the images I am using for app icons, but still no luck. How do I get the launch images to show up?

Icons are handled in a special way, when you do the publish the icons are brought in for you, but they need to be next to where the swf is going to be. I have mine in an icons folder next to the swf.

The splash screen isn't handled that way, you have to manually add them in the publishing settings. I think they could be located anywhere on your HD, but you add them in individually, not inside a folder. That then puts them at the root level in the app itself.

I found it, thanks very much! In the General section of the Air for iOS publish settings, click the "+" button above the included files section and just find the launch images.
