dynamic picture gallery loading

[GiantJon]

HI.

I am making a picture gallery in flash. I would like to be able to load the pictures into thumbnails dynamically. I don't want to have to specify how many pictures, I just want to be able to load an image folder with image, count the number of pictures in the folder, and create thumbnails for each one.

I have unsuccessfully looked all over for code on how to do this, and found nothing yet. i will keep looking, but if somebody can help me I would appreciate it.

I haven't found a really good tutorial on making a gallery with thumbnails yet either, so if somebody knows of one, that would help too. I also want to be able to load comments in dynamically, but one thing at a time. All that I am really worried about now is figuring out how to dynamically load the thumbnails, then I should be able to figure everything else out.

Thanks all!!

You'll need to look into server side scripting to open up that folder and count the images. Flash can't do that on it's own... And I can't help you with server side scripting!
