To keep it simple, the method will be the following:

1. Php script lists directory in a var named $dir
2. Flash grabs $dir var
------Process can split right here------
3. Using AS, image filenames are loaded into a clickable scroll list
-----------------------------------------------
3. Using AS, all images are downloaded and sized to a thumbnail. If user wishes to view one he clicks on whichever and the image displays with 0-load time

So thats the shindig.. I have the php script working out of Flash, but I'm not sure how to format it in one var because its echoing w/ <br> using the var.. check it for yourself : http://members.lycos.co.uk/dudeman26/dir.php

The script was found on the web, I altered it:


<?
//define the path as relative
$path = "./pics";
//using the opendir function
$dir_handle = @opendir($path) or die("Unable to open $path");
echo "Directory Listing of $path<BR>";
//running the while loop
while ($dir = readdir($dir_handle)) {
echo "$dir<br>";
}
//closing the directory
closedir($dir_handle);
?>

p.s. The script still needs some editing.. I'm sure I'll get it fixed.
