Ok… I’m starting to get the hang of things, but running into a brick wall trying to make my project skinable. Lets say my project contains 4 items… 1 background & 3 buttons As default: the background is an image of an island with a palm tree on it the 3 buttons are images of sea shells [![](http://www.uploadhouse.com/images/552640168Island1.jpg)](http://www.uploadhouse.com/) Now, if I put a file called Button2.jpg into the same folder as my SWF… then you will see the island, the first sea shell, an image of a coconut, and then the last sea shell. So basically, I want the project to load all the default images… and ONLY if there is a new image, then load it. If the file Button3.jpg isn’t in the same folder as the SWF, then just use the default “sea shell” button. [![](http://www.uploadhouse.com/images/112131954Island2.jpg)](http://www.uploadhouse.com/)
