List Directory Contents

[Agent Karl]

Hello again,

I was wondering if there is a way in actionscript to list the contents of a web directory into a flash movie...

i.e....

I am trying to take a directory full of images, and list/display those images in a certain sequence within a flash movie. I know that I could make php list the directory contents and then send the info to flash. Is there a way to do it directly?

From Flash? I doubt it, unless there's a way I don't know about. Heck, you can't even do that from a browser unless the server allows it.


Yeah, PHP is your best bet. And it wouldn't really be a hard script to make. If you don't know PHP, I (or someone else) could probably whip one up for you.
