I'm a bit confused about what the purpose of this is, but it sounds like you
are going to drop a whole bunch of images in a folder (and perhaps have the
end user add to the collection) then build an html-like page that references
the images? To iterate through a folder's files you can use code similar to
(where pFolderPath is your image folder):
fileList = []
pathInfo = the moviePath&pFolderPath
x=1
repeat while getNthFileNameinFolder(pathInfo, x)<>""
broadFileName = getNthFileNameinFolder(pathInfo,x)
if broadFileName contains ".jpg" then
fileList.append(getNthFileNameinFolder(pathInfo, x))
end if
x = x+1
end repeat
Then iterate through fileList to create a reference object (perhaps your
html-like file, if that exists here). You also mentioned having the images
show up in your cast - in that case you need to use importFileInto (D8.5
lingo help file (search "importFileInto").
Hope this gets you started in the right direction --
