[FONT=Arial]Looking for a way to have AS search an external folder for graphic file names, then push those names into an array for automatic display.

The idea is to not modify the elements(graphic names) in the array manually, but to have the script update the array elements automatically. The only thing I would have to do is add or remove graphics from the folder being searched.

Any Ideas???:h: [/FONT]
