This can also be used as an alternative to rotating images on web sites that normally rely on JavaScript.

As an example, you can see how XML and Flash was used to create a module that contains a layout for the Teaching Enhancement Center @ OID. All the images and text are dynamic and updating relies only on a simple text file or replacement of images in a specified folder. The end user does not need to know any Flash!
