Hi, there all…

It’s fun to create XML driven photogalleries with flash, you can write all the properties for the picture in the same XML i.e. fading values, x and y position and all that basic stuff, without touching the flash again.

BUT PLEASE HELP ME ON THIS:  
How can I manage to have some dynamic language to create the XML structure for all the pictures contained on a folder.

Imagine if you allow the user to put/update the images with “any” name he/she likes!. that does not matter for the flash since everytime you enter that specific frame the PHP/ASP/OR ELSE will create the brand-new XML file containing the updated pictures data.

HOW CAN WE ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

:huh:
