this is easy to do in QT, for example using LiveStage Pro (which is now I think vapourware but some of us still have working copies). in QT you would do it via XmL, the movie would call in an XML file, it can contain whatever - in your case the url of a graphic - and you would map a sprite to that value: the sprite retrieves the graphic and displays it. If you needed you could also resize the sprite based on width/height of the graphic. don't have a clue how to do it in flash :-) btw, a master's student of mine (David Wolf) made a work that loads jgs from flickr some time ago. The link to the work seems broken, but the third work does much the same thing: <URL: http://dpwolf.net/blogarchive/000271.html > and <URL: http://dpwolf.net/blogarchive/000272.html> -- cheers Adrian Miles this email is bloggable [ ] ask first [ ] private [x] vogmae.net.au [official compliance stuff:] CRICOS provider code: 00122A
