Hi everyone

I am a newbie to the group and to Flash, but I have done a lot of work in HTML and with Frontpage. I am currently getting to grips with Swish Max and also Flash MX profesional. I would like to make a slideshow for a website
EXACTLY like the one here

http://www.unit.nl/

Eg just a plain pannel with a plane scroll bar at the bottom that you can drag left or right and the pictures above scroll with it so you can view them.

Can ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME!!! :)

I have tried downloading the site to see how it works and getting the flash movies from my internet browser to see how they work in order to make my own, to no avail. I have also tried various pieces of flash slideshow software , but nothing lets me get the effect like the site above. I would just like a few ideas or pointers, is there any way to do it in HTML or with a Java Aplet or would it have to be flash? Could I take the 5 or six photos I want in the slideshow, join them together in photoshop so its a long , wide single photo and then animate that somehow ?

Any ideas and help would be greatly apreciated!!!

I do lots of slideshows and graphic presentation. I've seen this around and don't think it was using Flash. You could use DHTML for the scrolling or simply use an iframe with a scroller (viewing another page of images lined up through the iframe). I'd save the Flash for something really big. This looks like a simple design project to me that you could do without Flash and be alot happier.
