Can the pic include be based on a variable? my client asked me this question. I have a movie that is the header to the site and it pulls in a swf that calls a picture from pic00.jpg. I'm not sure exactly what he means by this. I'm assuming he wants to pass flash a variable name instead of a hardcoded file name but, I'm not sure exactly how to do this. Am I on the right track? Can someone show me an example or point me in the right direction? Thanks, T

T: If I understand you correctly, you just create a variable for the first part of the image and then add on ".jpg" or whatever and then place it in your html <img> tag. The following is an example taken from my: http://xn--ovg.com/location php $flag = "flags/".strtolower($country_code).".png"; html <fieldset class="bgblue"> <legend>Your location</legend> <?php echo ("Country: $country_name - $country_code &nbsp; <img src=\"$flag\" >");?> </fieldset> What this does is pull in a flag image of the county and show it to the user. I have no idea who the user is, but their IP gives me an indication that I then lookup in a dB. From there, I pull out the corresponding flag and assemble the <img src"<whatever>" call. Get the idea? hth's tedd -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
