2 parts to this

1. pull a series on [random] images from the system to show the user
2. client side javascript code to load the images in a slide show fashion

You may want to get an existing one and pull it apart to see how they've
done it

Hi,

If you are fine with using flash you could use some ready solution like
this:

For ready solutions like this you won't need a flash editor.

Philip:

With a combination of php, html, and javascript, you can get this:

http://webbytedd.com/c/fade-cycle/

The javascript is there.

Cheers,

You could look into something like PicLens lite.
http://piclens.com/lite/webmasterguide.php

It's more of an image viewer than slideshow. But the FFox plugin works
great with Flickr, youtube, etc..
Basically you create a media RSS feed of the photos or video.
There's two flavours.
PicsLens is the plugin for browsers, while PicLens lite uses javascript
and lets people who don't have the browser plugin view the photos.

Oh! For a moment I thought tedd had let me down - it didn't quite work properly:
the faded-out image flashed up again before being replaced by the new image. So
I looked at the code and realised that the new image was a background image,
which was being copied up to the foreground... and I had caching disabled (I was
on my development system and hacking some annoying IE/JS problems) so the
copying-up was forcing a reload from source...

Not broken after all.

Faith restored.

All is well.
