I was wondering if it was possible to list all the files inside a specific folder using Flash 8 Action Script.

Just that I have an image gallery that has all the image names in an array. What I would like to do instead is get the image names from the folder they are in.

Is something like this possible without the use of a server side programming language like PHP since the flash file will not be on a PHP server.

Thanks for your time.
