    Default Drag-n-drop images with ColdFusion/Flash

    I'm trying to figure out if something is possible. I have a database of
    people. All of these people have a bunch of images specific to them that I've
    placed in directories. I would like to be able to, as the site admin, drag and
    drop relevant images from a user's entire directory, onto a page, so that when
    they lookup their images, it shows them only the images I want them to be able
    to see. I haven't really attempted to try this, because I'm not sure if its
    more work than its worth, but I was curious if anyone has done this. The
    reason I want to drag and drop them is because I want them to display in a
    sequence that I can just pick and choose from all images in their directory.
    For example, when I PERSONALLY, log onto the site, I can get an entire page
    (all the images in ONE person's directory) and then just drag whatever images I
    want onto a page in whatever order I want. This page then becomes "finalized",
    so that when the USER logs on, and they click on DATE/IMAGES, it shows them the
    finalized page (which they can't edit), in the order that I dragged/and
    dropped.
    And the whole reason for all of THIS, is that its just too time consuming and
    confusing to go through a sheet of thumbnails, or images or whatever, remember
    the filename I wanted, and then create a new page that shows file1, file2,
    file3, and so on.
    I thought something like this might be possible with Flash, because I assumed
    I would need to load all the images as objects in order to do the dragging and
    dropping, but if anyone knows of some other ways to accomplish this, I'd love
    to hear it.

    its possible ive seen it...a database feeds images to a flash drag and drop panel after the user enters a search. Have no idea how they did it.
