Can I load images/text dynamically in Adobe XD?

The goal is to create a simple web app that features a flashcard that has an image on one side and some text on the other that flips gracefully when clicked.  The number of images is pretty large, so I'm guessing the best route is to load the image and text dynamically at runtime.  

 

Can this be done in XD? Or is Animate a better option? (Or something else?)

 

Thanks!

    Adobe XD has no logic or programming capabilities. XD is NOT the right tool for this. You can prototype the template that you would use for this, but you would need to code it in something else. I do not know the status of Animate's ability to publish interactive elements to the web.

    Hi Mike,

    do you have any examples of what you want to accomplish? With a reference, we can figure out what you want to design and we can help you better.

    Sure thing. Here's an example of a flipping card I'd like to emulate:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Newb-VEHB2E   But, I'd need to add a "Next" button to swap out the current image and text with the next image in line.   Since there are hundreds of images to display, I'm assuming I'll need to load them dynamically (via XML?).  Is that possible?
