She wanted a flash slideshow that was pretty slick and also easy to update herself. It reminded me of slideshowpro, which is pretty good at doing just that.

Slide show works by reading in the images to be included from an XML file.

It also reminded me a php class that I wrote a while ago to allow a client (or user) to update the XML file themselves. This class could be standalone, but would best be suited included into a CMS.

So here you go…. it’s rough, ready and could save you a few shillings if you were considering slide show pro director.
