Loading external images into the flash object

im working on a flash site for my freind’s design company, and i want to know if it is possible to be able to keep a file which has pics and info on it and just load the info from there, without having to re-publish the .fla after every update.

In other words, i want to be able to load pics and descriptions from an external file.

I would appreciate all the help i can get! Thanks :beam:
