Hi

I am currently working on a flash website (only just started really!!) for a carpentry shop. The main section of the site is a photo gallery showing sample pictures of built furniture, so that the customer can have a feel of the work quality, etc…

Now I have been to the tutorial section and I have seen a great photo gallery Fla by sbeener. The thing is, I need to customize the code but im not sure how!!!

This is what I need:

Currently, the images to be loaded are specified within the fla file, but I want to change this so that I specify them in a txt file. Because its easier to edit the txt file instead of the fla file, every time I add another image to the gallery.

How can I do this?

Any help would be appriciated. I have attached the fla

That’s up to you. If you want to keep it simple I suggest a textfile.
