I am putting the source FLA of this Flash slideshow and roll-over for free for learning purposes. I did this project back in 2008 as a home page for a new company. Two buttons are not working, but you get the idea how it works, pretty simple stuff but tips for some image zoom blur effects. I put the rest upon you to learn from the FLA.

Thanks.

I went to a historical place named Thatta in Sindh, Pakistan. I took the pictures of hundreds of years old graveyard, which has old graves, old shrines, old mughal emperor's Tombs etc. These pics can be helpful in designing Indian historical tombs or temples etc. The walls and brick textures can be helpful in many ways for Graphic, Web and 3D Designers... depends on your creativity !

I would want to use some of these images as website backgrounds for some stunning effects. :)

thanks.
