    Import folder full of images as frames?

    Hi all, Is there a way to import a folder full of images as frames, so that each image imports to individual frames, all on the same timeline would be o.k. ? I have done it before by using ImageReady first to make a giff and then importing the giff into Flash. Is there a better way?

    If the images are named sequentially , Flash will load all of them at once, and place them on different frames in th timeline.

    Flash usually displays a popup window, saying it has detected several images named sequentially, and wonder if it should load them all.

    So your images are named like..... image1.jpg,image2.jpg and so on ?

    Sometimes I can be an idiot, I was going import and then drag selecting all the images to import at once. I should have been just selecting one image, Flash recognised the sequence and the pop up came up straight away when I did it this way. I'll give myself a slap from everyone! sometimes when I move between 3DMax, Photoshop, Coreldraw, Golive, Flash, Autocad, my computer slows down and so does my brain.:-)
