Implementing

[jeffcravener]

I am creating a website in Flash, and I wanted to include a certain number of dynamic buttons that are created based on the pictures in a directory...

I was directed that I would need to use PHP to accomplish this.

I found some code...not sure how to utilize it/test it.

When I double clicked on it, it opened with Dreamweaver....the most of the syntax makes sense.

But I am not sure how to test it out...and then, if it does work, how to attch it to Flash....

Thanks in advance for any help:

<?
$handle=opendir("/images"); 
$counter = 0;
while ($file = readdir($handle)) {

  $the_type = strrchr($file, ".");
  $is_picture = eregi("jpg|gif|bmp|png",$the_type);  

  if ($file != "." and $file != ".." and $is_picture) { 
    $mypics[$counter] = $file;
    $counter++;
    } 
  }
closedir($handle); 
?>

This code does effectivly nothing but create an array of file names of pics.

What do you want to do?

Well, that's what I want....'cause I want flash to create buttons based on that list...

But, how do I test it? And even more importantly, how do utilize it with flash?

Seems like this question qould be better asked on a Flash forum....maybe flashkit
