flash data integration : Pulling images on the fly

I'm wondering if there is any way to have Flash pull a number of photo
filenames from a DB, and rotate the appropriate photos (fading in & out).
So when the filenames in the db change, Flash will automatically incorporate
the new photos. Thanks. Walter Hardy

Hi Walter,

You can certainly load picture filenames from a DB. This is a simple data call
to the server using loadVars, xml Object, or any of the data connectors.

Once you do this, you will use the filename you loaded to perform a loadMovie
to get the actual JPG into Flash. The picture ends up in a MovieClip that can
be rotated and faded using actionscript.
