Well - uploading an image for events can be done just like with any
other image. Go to assets and upload.

So I now got the problem. The problem is that you don't know how to
point to files that you upload to assets. Just say so....

Well, still not a telepath :-) -but finally I understood what your problem is.

I changed it to use Explicit image selection/Upload fields that will
prevent having to enter the path manually and also allow uploading
images directly, without going to assets.

Also removed the Title fields - the Title is read from the Image's
properties instead now. If you don't want to have the caption (that
the "flexslider" animation-thing adds with white heading by default),
use "Edit" button on the graphic and set the title to " " (i.e. a
space, if you make it empty, it would use a title based on the
filename, i.e. Some_Image.png would get the title "Some Image")

So summary:
* Pick images using the upload controls/Upload it via that mechanism
* Set the Image's title to " " to not get the heading written onto it
* Images should be of same size to avoid rendering issues. Size of the
initial event images was 1132x388 pixels.

ciao
