I'm not sure if this is in the correct forum (it doesn't really fit in any of the blanket catagories), so please move it if it should go elsewhere.


I am trying to create a photo slideshow that is to play on the main page of a website. It should have no visible controls, no background, no background music, and most importantly, it should be made with free (or low cost) software.


That being said, I am using a mac, but I have access to a wintel pc if it's necessary. <rant>I have already used Flash Gallery Factory Deluxe and I am fed up with their incoherent program design and buttons that don't link to the proper command functions. Also, just getting support from them was a mess and then understanding the broken 'engrish' was even worse!</rant>

Rant aside, who has a suggestion?
All help is appreciated.

I've heard of it, but I've never actually hand-coded with it before. It's always just been a dependancy for other code.

This is what I'm striving for.

The only thing that I don't understand is how to translate their code to my site. I can't just use the id's that they used because I already have those in use.

UPDATE - I've managed to get the images into the front page and each one has a sequential id value. Now I am just having trouble working out how to use JQuery to cycle through them.

I have used this one before. It has easy documentation, how to implement it.

I have used this and removed the navigation by adding a css style of display:none to that part or made the css for the thumbnails : height:0px
Use the webdeveloper tool in firefox add-ons or firebug to find the class faster.

I actually got it working a while back, but forgot to update this post. Thanks for the additional resource though, I'll probably use that one if I ever do this again.
