Image detection in folder script?

[aznFilipinezian]

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
rand = random(9);
container.loadMovie("fimages/image"+rand+".jpg");
container._x = container._y=0;
container._alpha = 0;

In our fla we have this on frame one which proceeds to load an image by fading it in from a folder. Is there any possible script that can detect the amount of images in a folder and load those? Because sometimes there are blank images (no images) which loads.
Thanks in advance!

With your script you are also loading image0.jpg, which you may not have.

Use this updated random script instead to just load images 1-9 .

rand = math.round(math.random()*8+1);

Flash can not look into folders. In that case you will need a server side script like php,asp or cgi.
