How can I...

[philjohns]

I want to create a slide show like this one:

Hotel On The Park - luxury Cheltenham hotels - cotswolds hotels - cotswold weekend breaks

Is there a javascript out there that I could use or should I create one using flash?

I'd say flash

Ok, Im not tooo familiar with flash - but I assume I would use motion tweens?

Yep, unless something like this would be good enough

Something of that complexity would have to be Flash, you could do something simplier using animated gifs and javascript, but it probably wouldn't look nearly as sweet.

Actually in retrospect I guess it would be possible with Javascript... All you are doing is panning around a picture and fading to another one... I haven't seen anything quite like this online, but it might be worth checking out these sites.

A quick search revealed this but it's a bit naff by comparison
