I need to open files in a folder within a photoshop action

Question

I am writing an action (to be triggered by automator) to take three photos from a tethered camera and open, size, and crop them, and place them in specific locations on a template image to create two photo-booth strips side by side on a 4x6 print.  It works perfectly, but when I write the "open" command into the action, it referenced the files by name.  I need to find a way to have my action open the three files in a folder (the only three that will be there thanks to my automator action), but not reference them by name.  Is there any way of opening images in an action without referencing them by name?  Maybe some sort of open images in a folder type of thing?  Any ideas are very much appreciated.

I have played with the >>Toggle dialogue on/off<< field and manually opened the files from their folder, but the action has the file's location written into it.  I need it to open all files in a folder.  As part of my Automator action, I am moving my photos (taken in batches of 3) into a workflow system of folders so the photos from the camera save to a "from camera" folder, and then move to a "for photoshop" folder, and those are the images that open into the ps action and get put into the template.  The action saves the composite image to an archive folder, and deletes the image layers, and then the Automator action moves the originals to another archive folder.  There shouldn't be issues as long as the actions keep running and I can figure out how to open files form a folder without referencing the specific images in the folder.  Also please keep in mind that I am writing this as an action witihn Photoshop CS3, so basically clicking record, and letting the computer write the "code".  Did that help?
