Does someone know any way to present a slideshow in content?

I am loking for a stable way to present some kind of sldeshow in a column wen i have several fotos for a news.

Look at this examples:

Slideshowpro integrated in a cms, loading images form a xml file

Some kind of JS script lading images from the article with prev/next at cnn.com

JS Slideshow in a popup at bbcnews

Another example, in nytimes

The easy solution would be a swf loading images from a xml file, but putting this by hand in the article code woul be lot of work and a danger in the future.
Some kind of easy solution for this would be a must have in joomla, i woul gladly pay 50USD+ for a more reliable image solution for J!

You have probably tried this but http://extensions.joomla.org/ is a good place to check also.

Good luck and I hope thats what you wanted.

Flash rotaor is a module.

fadded images its very limited.

Slidemambot is a good solution for small sites i'm sure, but i dont want to put mambot tags in 100+ articles a month. Unfortunately, its very usual to be released very good scripts and all of the sudent dev stops.
Using the regular mosimage bot, i'm secure im wont have backcompatibylity problems (at least 90% j! + mambo sites uses this).

LightThumb its probably a good solution:
-It uses mosimage tag
-the slideshow is made with the same alt tag in the bot

The only cons i see are:
The thumb images are created in the mambot directory, if we unpublish the mambot and revert to the defalt mosimage bot, the images referenced in articles are the big ones and not the tumbs and the content structure will break. So in a site with up to 10 slideshows the solution is simple, but in a big site dificult to update the images articles.

Thanks
