time to create flash anim. from image set

[siva]

Hi,

I have a client that has a series of images they want to present in a flash animation. There would be a "back" and "forward" button to flip between the images. They should fade in and out, and some of the images would have "hot spots" that would link to an external site.

My question is, how easy would this be to do, once the initial swf is created? The client would have to do this each week, so it can't be too time consuming.

Thanks

It would be time consuming for a newbie -- they would have to navigate around the timeline of flash, replace the image on that respective timeline (or just replace the image in the library), and re export the swf file, then upload. Easy for a common user, but hard for someone who doesn't know the program at all. If they have graphics experience, it'll take them a little time to adjust this -- if not, it'll take them a while. By building it as a flash MX application you might have some more ways to do it for them -- I would check Macromedia's forum or some other flash ones out there and see if that is a possibility.
