Hi all,

I have an idea that I would like to learn to do. But I will need some help as I am very new to Flash.

I would like to create an animation - basically cycling several still images in a loop, with each image clickable as a link - and be able to add/subtract images by adding/subtracting the images from a directory. I’ve been able to determine from some web searches that this might be do-able with an xml file?

Please advise on whether this is in fact possible and please link me to any tutorials that would help me get this started. 🙂

Thanks so much!
