flash

In a rails project how would I create a picture slideshow? It could be generated as flash or use prototype or something else.

I just want a series of images (as a sub-part of a web page, not be the whole page) to fade into each other, and to advance manually if clicked. It would be nice if I could do things like slowly zoom into the images

I imagine there must be a plugin or something to handle this?
