Hi there,
This question may be better in the actionscripts area. On the other hand, I am a Newbie...
Has anyone ever tried to load an image (say a gif) into a Flash movie, and then set up a script to update the Flash movie whenever the gif on the server was changed?
For instance: You have an animation of a rotating cube playing on a webpage. On one of the sides of the cube, you have an image. Now you want that image to change simply by dropping a new image into the image resource folder on a server.
Where would you start to set that up? getVariables works so far only with text (right?) and importing an image doesn't help because Flash stores a copy of the image in its library.
Any and all advice is appreciated!
