Loading images into flash via external text file

[whochrisporter]

Hi, thanks for reading and helping me first of all.

Now to the question..
I need to load external images into a scrolling slideshow (its like a sliding rotating banner) flash file using an external text file. I think I may have the concept down, I'm just not good in coming up with my own script.

I was thinking to use the loader component because for the sliding to work, I have to set the images (5 of them) next to each other so every few seconds, the next image will slide into place (ex: http://www.leedsworld.com at the mid bottom).

Can anyone help me go through this from the text file to the actionscript to use for the loading of the flash. Also is there a way to associate a link for when you are on that active image, you can click the image to go to the link in the text file.

I was thinking for the text file, something like this:

bannerAfile = 'rotatingbanner.jpg'
bannerAlink = '/flashredirect.asp?type=banner1'
bannerBfile = 'rotatingbanner2.jpg'
bannerBlink = '/flashredirect.asp?type=banner2'
..and so on..

Any help would be great, thanks
