yes of course.

i have a text file which names the image i want to dynamically load. the image resides in the same directory as the .swf and the text file.  
how do i read the image name in this text file, and then load that image, presumably into an empty mc?

also, is PNG still not supported for dynamic image loading?

thanks!
