Dynamically displaying an image into a current image

I understand that I can combine load image and display image to display a picture onto the current scene. I would like to do this dynamically in which a random image is loaded and displayed at random times and random locations. I know how to use VB script to read file paths into a variable. The part I am stuck on his how to set the image information into a generic variable that the display image module can see. I tried to use the Load_Image module and have it load all the image files in the folder but apparently this module does not create an array of the images. So do I need to create my own array and modify the IMAGE_LABEL, IMAGE_PATH and IMAGE_FILENAME?

Vince,
Once you have the filename that you want to display you can set that into a variable (lets call it filename_to_load) and then in a load image module use [filename_to_load] as the filename (just type it in). The module recognizes that '[' and ']' means get the value of the filename from within that variable. When you then set the image to load as a marker (you can specify the name) you can then use the display_image module to show that loaded marker image somewhere in the main display. Note this '[' and ']' trick is also understood by all other modules so if you find that you need a value generated from somewhere else to be used, just wrap [] around a variable with that value.
STeven.
