Question

I want to be able to create an swf that loads in images randomly from a database of several thousand pictures, like the example that I have linked to.
Is this possible?

Answer 1

sure.  just load the image names and select names randomly.
if you want to select without repeats, store the names in an array and use the shuffleF() function:
function shuffleF(a:Array):Array {
    n = a.length;
    while (n>1) {
        k = Math.floor(Math.random()*n);
        n--;
        temp = a[n];
        a[n] = a[k];
        a[k] = temp;
    return a;
