A weighted image gallery

Firstly, apologies. Im an avid Kirupa lurker but this is my first post!

I have some experience with AS2 but none in AS3. I have a project i need a hand finding some direction with.

Basically, i need to develop an image gallery that displays images based on certain values chosen by the user. Imagine two sliders such as “gadgets” and “cars”. The sliders provide values from 1 to 10. The flash movie then generates a gallery based on those provided weights. The user may want more gadgets than cars or all cars or more cars than gadgets etc.

Im a tad lost as to where i should start here…XML? MYSQL? should i start swatting up on AS3?

Anybody have any ideas of examples i could look at to get me on my merry way?

Thanks in advance kirupa people.:beam:
