Use Jquery SlideShow plugin to create form in cold fusion for slide show creation

Scenerio:

We need to have slide shows created for all our camps.  Users will ftp a folder with the images and somehow I need to have way for those folder images to become a slide show.  I have heard about using a jquery plugin, but how do I read the folder content and loop through it to create a slide show?

Here is the plug in link, the page will be coded in cold fusion
http://plugins.jquery.com/project/slideview

I just need someone to give the dog a bone... point me in the right direction..

When I go here to download the files http://plugins.jquery.com/project/slideview  it takes me to a long list of plugins, I tried to do a search and nothing

Sorry for the delay.

Thanks agx!

I ended up using solutions from both agx and TonyReba's suggestion to use pikachoose so I will split the points.

Thank you both!
