I’m developing an Adobe AIR program that requires an image to be displayed according to what has been selected from a tree. At the moment the image(s) is located on the users machine - but the user has to create the image, place it in the correct directory and make sure it’s named correctly for the program to find it.

I was wondering if there’s anyway in AS3 to grab the first image displayed from a google image search and display that instead. I want this to happen all in the background so the only thing to user sees is the image displayed.

I don’t know where to start or if it’s even possible to do something like that behind the scenes using AS3

Has anyone heard of doing something like this using AS3/Flex3?
