Check out this cool image slider form ProgressiveRed.

Stefan did a really good job on this and best of all is that he is offering cu3ber free of charge. When the page gets loaded, the CU3ER is initiated and first what it will look for is an XML configuration file (optionally .swf font file too, if the defined variable of this file was found). This will be loaded for future use. After loading and parsing XML, the CU3ER configures itself by its defined settings. Then it starts loading images (slides). As soon as the first image is fully loaded, it is displayed and the rest of the images are loaded in the background. Either a 3D transition to the next image is applied after the specific amount of time has passed or the user’s input (mouse click) is “listened” to and an action performed accordingly, depending on the configuration settings. It is as simple as that!.
