i have tried to follow a tutorial on how to list the images that are in a folder.

([http://www.actionscript.com/index.php/fw/1/dynamic-content-flash-and-asp](http://www.actionscript.com/index.php/fw/1/dynamic-content-flash-and-asp))

unfortunately when i try to run my asp page, [http://jonbid.co.uk/hardys/folderlist.asp](http://jonbid.co.uk/hardys/folderlist.asp), i get the page source, and not the list of images seperated by comma, as was desired.

i am a total newbie to asp, but cannot get this to work. In internet explorer it says i am trying to download the page!

do i need to change permissions on the server?

please help
