Hi I need some help.

I need to create a movie that will look into some directories and display the images he founds there (or text).

I just need some directins to follow ..

you can create for each directory flash will search for images a text file with an "index" of the images. You insert in the txt file names of images and then you load names in flash with LoadVariables or LoadVars . then u use names to load images form the correct url.

can it be done without creating the txt file? can flash read the directory and not get the names from a file?

thanx

no - you should make an XML file containing all the info (img name, location etc...) and have flash load the XML file and work out from that how many images there are (and their location)

the other way would be to use PHP to work it out, as the next post points out

there are LOTS of XML to FLASH tuts here

good luck :thumb:

you can read the content of a directory with php, and pass data to flash mx

ok, thanx all for the help.

about php - no. I need it to run local not on server side.

xml - the problem is that you don't know the img names only the directories names...
