Folder view for jpg slideshow application
Hi,
I?m making a standalone slideshow application of jpg files (not for web).

I?ll have a folder in pre defined path in the hard drive
(c:\images\thumbnails\) from where my flash program would pick up jpg files and
display in the scrollpane. It should be dynamic ? if I add more images in the
?thumbnails? folder in future it should pick up the current files list.

This would be program run from CD. Hence I won?t be able to use PHP. I was
told that Flash cannot read into the folder to get the file list. Can XML help
to achieve this? I am new to XML.

I have already done a slideshow for images embedded inside the library with
following code inside the scrollpane. Here, 001 and 002 are the movieclips but
now I want to use jpg?s from the folder:-

var imageList = ["001", "002", "003", "004", "005?];
var img = null;
for (var i = 0; i<6; i++) {
img = this.attachMovie(imageList, "img_"+i, i);
img._x = 0;
img._y = (i*80)+80;
_root.myScrollPane.refreshPane();
}


Kindly help!
