I created a flash effect, where one part of it was a mask effect over an image, however what I had asked Digitalosopy… was "is it possible to have many images in a folder where flash loads the image externally, and thankfully all looks great using the following code :

[AS]

pics=[“gfx/photo01”,“gfx/photo02”,“gfx/photo03”];  
randpic = pics[random(pics.length)];  
\_root.placeholder.loadMovie(randpic+".jpg");

[/AS]

This works very well, except if a second user wished to upload many more images, like photo04.jp and even photo20.jpg, they would first need some knowledge with flash. I would prefer if they could simply drop many images into a folder like already achieved whereby no more editing in flash would be required providing the photos had the same dimentions etc…

I think Digitalosophy was suggesting a text file of some sort.

Can anyone please help me out with this, and even is it a possible thing.

Thanks in advance
