Does anyone know of some tool or where i can learn some code to manually create a swf that can dynamically load up images without my having had pre-set the number of images or their names. Even better if can load a flickr or picasa slideshow.
What i’m trying to accomplish is this: I have a swf web page that loads other pages into it. One page i want it to load is the “Pictures” page which has a slide show in it. But the tricky part is that i want clients to be able to upload new pictures for the slideshow whenever they want, without anyone having to go in and change actionscript or xml script. So clients simply uploads jpegs to a folder online, and the actionscript adds those new photos to the slideshow on its own everytime the swf is loaded. It would be a miracle if there were some way the client didnt have to bother with ftp, but instead could upload photos to the flickr or picasa sites.
The big issue is that the slideshow swf is not being embedded into an html page. It is instead being dynamically loaded into a swf. And it needs to dynamically calculate how many and which photos to download.
Any ideas? Please let me know, it’d be greatly appreciated!!!
Also, i’d like the slide show to be able to open the pictures in fullscreen mode if thats possible. Thanks all.
