hey all…so i read the tutorial on randomly loading backgrounds that kirupa has up, but i just wanted to see if anyone knew a better way to get a set of say maybe 10 photos or SWFs (just simple jpgs in a flash movie) that are in an external directory to load into one single flash movie…basically if you look at the link below you’ll get a better idea…my client doesn’t want the sam eimages to load at teh beginning of teh animation so none of the girls get catty about facetime so i need a way to have an image bank and just have the images be called randomly…please take a look and tell me what you think…oh btw i am using mx 2004 and i would like to avoid php if at all possibel haha! thx in advance
