One standard technique (if I understand you correctly) is to make a
list of the contents of the changing folder as the projector starts
up.
(paraphrased from the Help entry for getNthFileNameInFolder:)
The following handler returns a list of file names in the folder on
the current path. Use 'theFiles = currentFolder (theFolderPath)'.
on currentFolder, thePath
fileList = [ ]
repeat with i = 1 to 100
n = getNthFileNameInFolder(thePath, i)
if n = EMPTY then exit repeat
fileList.append(n)
end repeat
return fileList
end currentFolder
