Hi everybody!

People (including myself) are having trouble with an image downloader in an 
iterator. The idea is to have each iteration display a different image. The 
outcome is that each iteration displays the same image.  As far as I can tell 
the last solution offered on the list is to have a seperate image downloader 
for each image in the folder, feed this into a multiplexer, and then have each 
iteration take its image from the multiplexer. Works okay if you have 20 or so 
images, but becomes tedious when you're working with 200+ images. 

My solution is to have an interpolation patch go through the structure, where 
each index member gets fed into a demultiplexer, whose index comes from that 
same interpolation patch. This way every image winds up in it's own output port 
of the demultiplexer. Each output is then fed into its corresponding input of a 
multiplexer. This multiplexer has its index controlled by the iterator, and 
thus feeds different images to each iteration. Please see the attached example 
if that didn't make any sense. You'll need to change the folder location to 
somewhere on your own drive of course.

You still have to connect every output of the demultiplexer to the 
corresponding input of the multiplexer, which is tedious and mindnumbing (so I 
guess it's the QC equivalent of rotoscoping) , but even with 200+ images this 
is done relatively quickly. 

This is the fastest workaround I've discovered so far. If anyone has a quicker 
way, please let me know, because I use this technique a lot.
