How to get this PHP list in Flash AS3?

Question

Hi,
I have the following PHP code (downloaded from net) which builds a list of all the files in a "MyPics" folders:
PS php can build a list of all the files in a folder so you don't have to type them all out like that, plus it makes updating a sinch all you have to do is put a pic in the folder and it will be added to the list.
PHP Code:
<CODE>
<?
//this function goes through the defined directory and makes a list of all the files
function parse_dir($dir,$level){
    $dp=opendir($dir); //opens the directory for reading
    while (false!=($file=readdir($dp))){  //runs until no more files
        if ($file!="." && $file!=".." && $file!=".htaccess"){  //so you don't get all the default folders
            $countervar=$countervar+1;  //just a counter for numbering the path names
            if (is_dir($dir."/".$file)) parse_dir  //recurses the subdirectories
($dir."/".$file,$level+1);
            else print "&path".$countervar."=".$dir."/".$file;  //pieces together something flash can read
$start_dir="pathToMyPics";  //put the name of the folder with all the pics here
$level=1;
parse_dir($start_dir,$level);
?>
<CODE/>
The above php will output something like this
&path1=pathToMyPics/pic1.jpg&path2=pathToMyPics/wowWhatAWierdPicName.jpg
call the php in flash( loadVariables("fileListPHP.php") ) and viola you get easy to use paths to all you pictures.
I am not able to understand the code to write on FLASH AS3 frame. Please help.
Thanks.

In AS3 you want to use the URLVariables class.  Search Google using "AS3 URLVariables tutorial" and you should find what you need to get going.  Here's one result from that search...
