[F8] Actionscript or Stage, which one?

Well you need to find out how EXACTLY the data you need to display is going to be delivered to you..that will open (or close) many options for you.

if the php page is generating some XML on the fly.. you need to parse the XML to use the data first...

you can use Flash to call a php script that will scrape ay directory and truen the file names back to Flash, you can dump into an ARRAY.. and loop through them as you want... doesnt matter where the pics are located.. (well ok it does in the end ..but not for now).. you can still load them.

I mean if you have an 'xtra' page..you'll know.. and you'll have to plan fo rit.. or make sure he puts any split image directories inside a PARENT IMAGES directory.. so you can still scrape the file names..and return them to flash.. or create an XML file and use a tre compoenent to show the directory structure or something.

I'm feeling like I should just make the pages a set number and ask him what categories he will be using. I have too many other things to worry about. Like figuring out the php and such. The xml I have set up is local and is working fine. Just need the php to scrape the directories and make an xml file. Then I should be ok.

I probably have more questions but I've already taken a good amount of your time. I thank you for info. It has helped.

I believe I'm going to your route and make external movies named "ceremony" and such, and then load the thumbs, dynamically, inside them.

Anything else I may be missing?

Thanks again whisper.
