You can search this forum for "slideshows". I've done a ton of examples for people of the past year or so.

Is there a need to use Flash here. JavaScript would work just as well (and have the added benefit of being index-able by search engines). Search "jQuery + Carousel" for some nice examples of JS versions of that functionality.

Fair enough. Though, you could do it with JavaScript as well. Have you been able to find some of my demos?

Here you are:

The last one is probably the closest to what you're looking for. Each is done with a different technique.

If you have any questions, let me know.
