Creating a slideshow that can be updated through ftp

[crj900]

Hey everyone. I need to create a slide show, that is able to be updated through ftp. In other words, the client I have wants to be able to upload her own photos through the ftp, and have them appear in the slide show. Does any one a tutorial or advice on how to do this?

Thanks.

Most Flash slideshows come with a xml file to control the pictures, change the pictures and the xml data and the slideshow will update

If you just want some 'Fire & forget' method. Upload to FTP and you're done, then you can use PHP for that. Maybe flash can do it. I'm not sure if it has much power when it comes to accessing directories and listing off files though. (PHP can be linked to flash too and generate that XML for flash at runtime)

I know that you'd have more control with PHP though in that you can set it to arrange the images alphabetically or by date (i think. I've never done it).
