The Iron Throne
I'm looking for a good free or inexpensive program to create a simple, ad-free flash slideshow for a website.

All I need is for about 14 photos to rotate. No fancy effects or anything like that. I would like to add some text on the bottom of each photo, but I can even do that in photoshop if necessary.

Can anyone offer some advice? Adobe Flash is too expensive for what I need this for. I used slide.com, but they don't have the option for an ad-free version. I also made one with flickr that I was able to embed, but it had a really big black border around it, and I wasn't able to customize it at all.

Thanks so much in advance.
 
you can try Flash Slideshow Maker for Mac

you can try Flash Slideshow Maker for Mac from http://mac.flash-slideshow-maker.com. It has lots of preset Flash templates and all can be customized.

I'd recommend staying away from flash for something like this. There are a lot of jQuery based solutions out there that only require a very small knowledge of html and javascript to get working.
