I'm building a little gallery

which is better?

the ones I had in mind ....

simpleviewer, for MMflash

and this one

lightbox
for the javascript

I'm thinking of compatibility, and I want everyone to be able to see it .. and the javascript includes a lot of hacks that might not work cross-browser, whereas flash is just flash.

98% of web users, have flash enabled. So I'd go with flash.

Whether they'll be patient with loading times etc, is a different matter.

Build a flash one that loads in the images 1 at a time as they are viewing using xml
