Flash Image Gallery

I'd like to create an "image gallery view" for CMS folders.

Image Gallery View

Since we already have the magic "thumbnail" view, I'd like to create a better "Image Gallery View" for the CMS. I think it might be pretty easy to do using Flash and feeding a flash viewer an XML file listing to drive the image gallery.

There's already code that generates RSS and iTunes feeds, so borrowing from that and pumping data to a flash swf should be doable.

There are some gallery tools listed below. Possibly test one of these and see if I can get it to work. If not, talk to http://www.TylerQueen.com/ and see if he'll be willing to build a player that'll go into an open source Plone tool.
