Something along these lines:

http://www.wyome.com/index.php?module=articles&func=view&ptid=11&theme=slideshow_manta

Basically, all I did was add a "theme" to Xaraya
(http://www.xaraya.com ) and I am dynamically generating the
presentation through the articles module to add the slides.  The theme
itself came from the idea from Eric Meyer of CSS fame, but the dynamic
generation is just a publication type as can be seen here:

http://www.wyome.com/index.php?module=articles&func=view&ptid=11

Please note, if you are viewing in IE, I have disabled the stylesheet
loading as a choice.

Xaraya is an OpenSource CMS of sorts, and you can read more about in
the presentation...
