Math-you

can anyone figure out a nice way to load a whole folder of images to be triggered randomly using the fpic object, or any other object?

Without having to write 'open example.jpeg' for every command either.

Basically, I want to be able to trigger images without programming every file neame etc? This means i could trigger a random file from the folder.

I just did this the other day for a project I am working on.

Drag a folder right on it and it will load itself into the jit.cellblock. Click on any item and its name will be output the left outlet (just prepend read/open, or whatever you need). The length of the cellblock is output the right outlet (to be used with random or other things).

Right now it's setup to only accept certain files (movie and some picture formats, I think). You can change this inside the patcher.

That's pretty much it. Hope it's helpful.
