Generating Flash .swf

I only use Photoshop CS2 in my work, as I don't need anything else. Now, I'm thinking of including .swf Flash in my website to animate photos to retain quality.

What Mac OS X product can generate Flash movies for me? My budget for such a product is low.

Thanks,
Waleed

I really love it and it's just a cheap component to use with flash 2004 MX.
You can download the Flash trial from adobe and set it up with it but make sure Slide Show Pro is compatible with the demo version of Flash you'll download. SSP is I think about $20.

They even have a free plugin to do your galleries with Iphoto. The best thing about it is that it reads an xtml file, so it's easy to update once setup.
Here are some galleries I did with it:

this looks like flash but it's only a javascript VERY nice:

Thanks for the info and links pompo.

Let me tell you more about what I want to do. I have a 700x160px image on my site that I like to animate: http://waleedsgallery.biz

I like your first suggestion, but I cannot have navigation data around it, such as number of photos, pause, run, skip.. etc. I'll download it and see available preferences..

Thanks again..

you can pretty much hide the navigation with SSP and have different fades,
of course you can set the flash file to the size ya need. It's customizable a lot...check it out.
