Hey!!  
Just one question this time…

I am trying to make an application that automatically picks a picture from a folder, example for it to grab a jpeg called “pic1.jpg” and display it on the animation?

I am trying to make a slide show, but I want the slide show to have at least 10 different pictures that it goes through (pic1.jpg, pic2.jpg, pic3.jpg (and so forth)) on the screen. Transformations are a plus.

I also own a Flash CS3, so if this is impossible to be done with Flash 8, tell me the instructions for Flash CS3, please =)

Could someone tell me a way to code this?
