I have experimented a bit with Move and Fade effects in the example above together with the setInterval function. The gallery is of course dynamic, e.g. photos can be added via XML. If you ‘d like to have sth similar, just drop me a line (niels dot drobek at rwth minus aachen dot de).

A Flash application is often integrated within a webpage as an interface tool to display certain things. For instance, in my previous post I used a WordPress plugin to play an mp3 file, which makes use of Flash to present controls like play and stop to the user. So we need a way from outside to tell Flash what the url of this mp3 is. One way to do this is to use so called FlashVars, which can be integrated as parameter within the object tag that is used in HTML.
