Hi there !

I’m on a project where the main SWF loads some other swf file and show them.  
I told my boss that AS3 need the exact path and name of the file to load it, that it can’t list a folder and take everything in !

I’m almost totally sure I’m right ! I’m not talking about a php script that list the folder and send variable to flash.

Am I right ?
