Multiple Image Displays for PhotoSphere and other Picture Objects?

Hi all, in working through PhotoSphere and other Picture objects, each of the URL entries points to an individual image file. How can I reference a folder, for example a SharePoint folder, where a bunch of image files are stored? I don't see the use of only pointing to one file, I need a way to point to a folder with lots of files, so PhotoSphere can display lots of pics, instead of just one.

Any thoughts on how to configure PhotoSphere and others to reference a library instead of a single image file?

The blocks take one image at a time and you could call the method many times to get the result. One way to try would be to use image scraper and point that to the folder then connect image scraper to one of the photo display blocks.

That assumes the images are included on the page as <img> say if sharepoint had an album view there is no way currently to point to a UNC share (such as \\server\directory\)

I found that each of the photo "blocks" allow multiple entries, but they are added through the Advanced View, such as the following:

PhotoStack

data["PhotoStack"] = photoStack.addImage("http://www.ryshouse.com/SiteDirectory/vPics/GermanyAustria/P1010010.jpg", "Airport");

PhotoTiles

data["photoTiles"] = photoTiles.addImage("http://www.ryshouse.com/SiteDirectory/vPics/GermanyAustria/P1010010.jpg", "Airport");

PhotoSphere

data["photoTiles"] = photoSphere.addImage("http://www.ryshouse.com/SiteDirectory/vPics/GermanyAustria/P1010010.jpg", "Airport");
