I wan't to be able to have flash start a slide show with what ever is in a giving folder so my clients can change the pictures at their will. It must be a stupid question but there are those moment where simple things just don't come out hihihi.
If your images are in a local directory you'll need to use a wrapper application to pass the info to the SWF. If they are online, you'll need a server side script. In either case, you cannot do it with Flash on its own.
if you have access to php and are doing this online then i can give you a php file that will search any given directory and return to flash a list of all files found in that folder.
throw this result into an array then load the jpgs for the slideshow.
Hi there, I have the same question as 'jiyano' and I didn't think i'd be able to perform the task within flash. Could you please send me the .php file that retrieves the list of files from the directory??
I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,
thanks a lot thats exactly what I'm looking for. However... I would like to learn how to construct the slideshow myself. Not JUST because it's free, but because i will know how to do it in the future for other websites and also learn about how PHP script links into flash which I am keen to learn about.
So do you know where I could find the script for the tool or can you show me a link to a forum in tek-tips or on
Thanks a lot. I'm no flash expert so it might take me a little while to figure out how all the script works, but it's just what I wanted and hopefully I can get my head round it and put it to good use.
