I wonder if anyone can help me with an easy way to create an array from the content of a folder (images) . Im guessing that I have to use the file system object and the getFolder method. how then can I iterate through the names to create an array ?

Any help would be great

Thanks for your reply.

The link you included however could not be found.

I wonder If would consider the following script and tell me where Im going wrong. I can extract the folder name from the folder object but cant access the files collection. Is it my dot syntax perhaps ?

Cheers

filesCollection = theFolder.files;

for(i=0;i<rsLength;i++);

theFileName=filesCollection.fileName
document.write(theFileName + "<br>")

Sorry I might not have mentioned that Im working with serverside Javascript. Did you consider the scripting in the last message ?
