I’ve got a client using [Andromeda](http://www.turnstyle.com/andromeda/home.asp) to create a directory list that also displays the file information… but he wants to have a Flash front-end. I can create a PHP page that lists everything in _one_ directory, but I have to put a separate script in each directory. I’d prefer to have ONE page that just uses variables to switch directories… and have it displayed in a Flash file. Any ideas? Or would this be more of a Flash forum question?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
