php to flash

Hi, I have set up a PHP script that reads the contents of a specified directory and outputs it like: pic1.jpg, pic2.jpg, pic3.jpg etc...

I don't have much experience with actionscript, so I was wondering how I can get flash to load this PHP script and load the returned data into an array like: var img_array=["pic1.jpg", "pic2.jpg", "pic3.jpg"];

So basically I want to read a directory and load the data into flash. Can anyone help or suggest the best way to doing it?

I wouldnt use PHP to do it, I believe Flash can do it all by itself. Not too sure.

I've Google'd it a bit, and I see it possible in a few downloadable components, but no tutorials.

Thats the closest I could find to it.

But if you post this question on Kirupa Forums you could find a answer.
