Re: actionscript: selfcontained images' slideshow

Hello Vishesh,
I meant exactly that: pictures embedded in the flash file, as library clips, to be dynamically loaded through actionscript. Sorry for having been inaccurate.

Apparently, I succeded using "BitmapData.loadBitmap()". This is the example I found on Flash Help:

Help with Code Tags

(Toggle Plain Text)

import flash.display.BitmapData;
var linkageId:String = "libraryBitmap";
var myBitmapData:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap(linkageId);
trace(myBitmapData instanceof BitmapData); // true
var mc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
mc.attachBitmap(myBitmapData, this.getNextHighestDepth());

What is annoying is that I have to set a Linkage manually, for each bitmap image I have in the library. I've tried selecting multiple files and right-clicking, but the command "linkage..." becomes unclickable. Let's say I have a slideshow with fifty images: I have to right-click and set linkage fifty times!
The new question is: can multiple files' linkage be done in an automated (smart) way? I would just say to Flash that all the bitmaps in the library must have a linkage name equal to the files'names.

bye,
s
