i have a holder MC which changes from jpg

the array for the jpg’s names is:

```auto
this.pArray = ["plaatje1.jpg", "plaatje2.jpg", "plaatje3.jpg", "plaatje4.jpg"];

```

the problem is that i want to set the picture names from an external source.

an option is to do this in the code

```auto
#include "images.txt" //where images.txt contains the line of code above

```

that’s ok but i want to control each image from it’s own txt file.

I have tried to do it also by passing the image names with variables but there is something wrong with it FMX couldn’t use the values of the variables in the array.  
sorry if my language isn’t that good but can someone help me?

I need to make a MC that loads jpegs from external file u know with loadmovie command.  
ok but i need to control the name of the jpegs to load without editing the swf thus by editing 4 txt files  
each txt contains the name of a jpg to load  
what i said before that’s a way to change them but the problem is they (the jpeg names) are all in 1 txt file  
and i need them to be 4 separate files  
hope i explained it to all of u and waiting 🙂

Why 4? u could assign 4 variables in 1 TXT file!
