Is there any way for flash to determine the number of files contained in a folder? If so how. I am trying to create a photo gallery which will load as many pictures as there are in a specified folder.

No you cant use flash independently to count the number of files in a folder. But you can have a server-side language (eg php) do that for you. All that flash does is call that php file, using say sendAndLoad. When php is called it then counts the number of files and returns that number to flash. Hope that helps :)
