    Does anyone know where to find the code for this JQuery slideshow - http://www.prestosports.com/landing/index? I've looked all over - plugins.jquery.com etc. with no luck. This is such a cool one, so am hoping it's open source.

    It appears to be Flash, loaded with SWFObject

    
    <script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready( function() {
    var now = new Date().getTime();
    var so = new SWFObject('siteflipper.swf?t=' + now,'mpl','637','515','7');
    so.addParam('wmode','transparent');
    so.addVariable('configPath', escape('screenshots-featured?tmpl=data-template&t=' + now));
    so.write('siteflip');
    });
    </script>
    
    Code (markup):

    Thanks for your reply. I saw the flash element and thought some jquery scripts involve flash, wasn't sure. I was hoping I wouldn't have to create a flash movie and just plugin the images into a jquery script, maybe xml file.

    Thanks again, Cash Nebula. I like jCoverFlip the best so far and will probably go with that.

    Yeah, jCoverFlip is pretty cool. The demo looks bland but you can improve the appearance without too much work.

    Another good one is ContentFlow but it doesn't use jQuery. I like how it jumps out at you, it's almost 3D :eek:

    Thanks for the rep! :)
