My project mgr would like to rotate graphics/gifs into a FlashMX library, but I need to create a script/program (probably in ASP since we’re on NT) that pulls them out of a database and into a Flash file, whereas the filenames for the gifs would remain the same in Flash, it would just be different pictures on a weekly basis. Is there a utility in FlashMX already available for something like this, or am I/he pipe dreaming?

You can only dynamically load non-progessive .jpg files into Flash.
