    You want to have them in flash? It can be unbelivably easy made with PHP... only couple lines of code... that would automaticly detect files, so you wouldnt have to enter their names.

    not sure of what you want but i made this with the koolmoves image and it was incredibly easy. It was just using the wizards and then slide show.

    You can also have PHP get the list from a directory and pass that to flash and let flash make the movies with createEmptyMovieClip and load them in. Or use flash to just read a text or XML file that provides the information.

    What is the flash 8 way of loading a jpg? I mean I can use dynamic text to load a file written from a txt file so that when I update, I change only the text file in notepad. How can this be done with jpg, gif's and not php?

    var Today=new Date();
    var ThisDay=Today.getDate();
    loadVariables(Thisday+".txt?" + getTimer(), _root);
    mc1.loadMovie("Thisday+".jpg");

    Above is a simple way to load a text file and a picture from a selection of 31 pre-named files based on the day of the month.(I use this to produce a different illustration and text for a project to give the illusion of updated content)

    In the same way the variable could be a randomly generated number to select a file from a selection, or the text file loaded in line 3 could contain the name of the file to be selected in line 4.

    By the way the + getTimer(), _root is to bypass the cache and force fresh loading of the text file.

    Don't know if this helps

    Actually you can do that in Flash if you have file naming scheme.

    Something around

    for(i = 0; i<100; i++){
    load("name"+i+".jpg");
    }


    In php you need to scan the directory, like this, http://www.liamdelahunty.com/tips/ph..._directory.php but make the output in XML format and use XML classes in flash.

    Hi Blanius,

    I have a php script that does what you're talking about. However, I don't know how to incorporate that with my koolmoves movie.

    I want to be able to run that script, that will create an XML file and thenl I want to load the images into my movie. How does that work? I don't know where to put the code in AS that will execute the PHP and then load the images.

    Perhaps you could look at http://koolexchange.com

    Look in the "fun with backends" and look at the code example called
    "TwistedLister" or "snakeshow"
