Display Dynamic images?

[rball]

I have a list of images that I wish to display depending on an action. Simple hur? Well not exactly, i don't want to setup loads and loads of image placeholders and hide or unhide depending on the action - too many.
What I want is to dynamically display, say a file reference (c:\image1.bmp) on the page for one action and maybe (c:\image2.bmp) for another - is this possible.

I've heard some talk about using Html, write out to file with variable name etc. but this means using the brower window.

Can anyone think of another way - i.e. one image placeholder and mulitple images depending on action.

Cheers

I don't know if this would work, but you could try replacing the actual files (in the Data folder) at run time.

I've never tried it, but in theory it might work.

Why not use a variable in the file name, thus changing the filename at run time?

Can't be done on an Image Object.
Worm has come up with the answer by using the Media Player

Don't nobody forget the looooonely old web object which does it too. Thenew powertips CD has one lesson dedicated to dynamic page content. It's finally done this week and all that jazz...

Yep, that too. I misread the post. When he mentioned not wanting to use the Web Browser, I automatically thought he was speaking of the WebBrowser Object.
