I think that sounds great. It seems like it would also be nice to have the option of having the next image url determined by an ajax call.

I had to make a sort of slideshow for a site I'm working on, and I was
thinking of making it into a Scriptaculous object.  Anyone think of
reasons why I shouldn't?  You'd have to pass in all the image urls and a
div id, with an optional delay parameter to determine how long to leave
each image up before moving on.  I could also have a 'randomize' option,
when set to true it would pull the images randomly.  It would cross-fade
them using Effect.Fade and Effect.Appear.

Syntax would be something like:
new Effect.Slideshow('div_id', ['image1.jpg', 'image2.jpg'...], { delay:
#.# (in seconds, with a default of 10 seconds), randomize: true/false
});

The script would create the img tag inside of the div (it'd actually
create 2, 1 hidden and 1 showing, then fade one out while the other
fades in).

What do y'all think of that idea?

If someone's already working on something like that, then cool.
