I have an idea for my site that i got from my sprint phone. I want to be able to dynamicly load a picture based on what time of day it is, so in the morning it would be a sunny pic of joggers or something, noon it would be people smoking downtown and night would be something i dont know. the problem is i have no idea how to achieve this or even if its possible, i have read many tutorials on how to dynamicly load an image, im looking for a good one with a preloader for my images so if someone can point me in the right direction that would be great thanks :}

Well you would have to check to see what time it is using the Date() function. Then you can use a conditional to tell flash to load the proper image depending on what time it is.

I would search for some date/time tutorials. Once you understand how to get the time you can just load your image using loadMovie();
