Dan, many ways to skin this cat surely. You could use a TileList and use Image as a drop-in renderer. This will give you scroll bars and you can add buttons later to scroll left/right. You could also use a HBox and always display m of your n images in it. A left/right button would just 'scroll' through your n images setting the subset m of them to be displayed. You can even have a scroll bar for this too.
If you got XML in hand, use it, no sense converting it to a ArrayCollection unless there is a need to IMHO, its just display level, eh?
