Hello everyone I am new to this forum and would appreciate some help and advice. I am building my own site and would like on my site on the header to have like this site has http://www.shopsdhomes.com/ where you see the different pics of San Diego come up. How do you make something like that? Where do you get the software if any is needed to make that? Is there any free software to make something like that? I know it has something to do with java and macromedia if I am reading the code right but dont know how to make something like that for my site. I want it like it is on the left of the header on that site where a different pic every coupld of seconds comes up. Thank you in advance anyone that replies to this thread with advice and knowledge of this.

That image gallery in the header is made with Adobe Flash. A free trial version of Flash can be downloaded from adobe.com. The flash method is not entirely "free". Once the trial expires you are stuck unless you buy the app ($699). Being that those are just simple fade in/ fade out effects, it can also be achieved with javascript, more specifically jQuery. This method is entirely free. It will just require you to know a little about JS, CSS and HTML.

Hello everyone I am new to this forum and would appreciate some help and advice. I am building my own site and would like on my site on the header to have like this site has http://www.shopsdhomes.com/ where you see the different pics of San Diego come up. How do you make something like that?

Dynamic Drive is the solution for most of your web design needs. I say this from experience. They also have exactly what you're looking for here...
http://dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex14/fadeinslideshow.htm
 
The best solution and the fastest one and the CHEAPEST ONE

You do not need to buy a $600 adobe product, nor do you need to use coding that you are not very familiar with. The best thing you should do is just go to this website; http://www.flashcomponents.net/ and search for the best gallery or flash slide show you like. You will spend not more than $15.00 in a flash component which you require no knowledge of flash and you will certainly be able to make the changes via a XML file. This is a very simple and economical way to have flash on your website.

We do this for our customers and its not that we can not custom design the flash our selves but simply that now a day with the economy you need to be simple and affordable and no one out there is willing to pay the cost of a custom flash application specially when these can be purchased ready to go out of the box by any other company.
