Hi, I've been doing something similar except I load the variables from a text file in Director and then send those to flash, and then back again for saving.
I found the most convenient way to work with push / pulling of text from a flash sprite was using flash's variable containers. You can access a flash variable using something like sprite(mysprite).getVariable(flashvariableName, string) And to change a flash variable's value use something like sprite(mysprite).setVariable(flashvariableName, newValue) Although for the images I've never tried exchanging that information with a Flash sprite, although the most immediate way I can think to suggest is loading the images location dynamically in flash and use that information for Director to also load it as an external cast member? Hope this helps to get ya started. If I can help any more let me know, I did not go in to too much detail as I don't know if you plan for this to work on or offline.

Hi all, Here's my question. Currently I am working on a project, where the client wants to have external text files loaded into flash together with pictures, and then put into director 8. I've tried, but it doesn't seem to work. Does anyone had experience with a similar task?
