Flash or JS image rotator - Tim - 01-07-2010

I am looking for a simple image rotator written in Flash or JavaScript. All I need is something very simple and I can't seem to find it, I just want it to rotate through images from and XML file, I just want it to fade between them, have some small text down the bottom (not critical as I can put it in the image) and have a way of navigating between the slides, preferably by having a small square to represent each slide that you click. Open source would be preferred. Unfortunately I have been looking for hours and can't find anything that like this, maybe I am searching for the wrong phrases.

Any suggestions?

Here are some flash ones;
Flash is also bit harder to find Open Source ones than JS, but you can look for Flash tutorials.

You should use jQuery Smile.

Thanks MoU but I need a rotator, not an image gallery. You see I am trying to basically make part of a header cycle through images.

I think jQuery is looking like the best option as you say Zomian but jQuery always involves so much stuffing around! (for me at least)
