check it here. It’s not free:)
the configuration is very simple, you can just open component panel in Flash and drag-drop SlideShowPro on stage. The configuration panel looks like:

SlideShowPro will read xml file for configuration, which specify images and their path. here is demo of xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <gallery> <album title="Samples" description="XXXXX" lgPath="path/of/images/"> <img src="001.jpg" /> <img src="002.jpg" /> <img src="003.jpg" /> <img src="004.jpg" /> <img src="005.jpg" /> </album> </gallery>
