I'd like to see examples of Flash using Google to retrieve random images from the net and displaying them in a movie. Has anyone seen this? Scripts?
I am curious like a baby pussycat.

I tried to do something like this a few months ago. The problem with querying Google is that the data it returns is all HTML. Its really not very fun to find the image tags it refers to and pull them accordingly.
There's some documentation here on http://www.flash-db.com/Google/ that might help onto how. Once you've got it querying Google's database and returning the images to bring into Flash , creating a random array of words should be no sweat. :)

done it a longtime ago, the hard part was the regular expression to filter the 'good stuff'...

See www.ghettodriveby.com for the random image part. Bring it into Flash via SOAP or via javascript.
