I've got a bunch of websites that use a few Prototype/Scriptaculous plugins such as lightbox and modalbox, hence include references to these two libraries on various pages.

I now need to implement a slideshow on every page, and to follow suit, I need a Prototype cycle or slideshow plugin. The requirements are fairly simple:

1. images should fade-in/out every N seconds
2. four controls: prev, pause, play, next
3. i'd prefer to add images to the slideshow via JavaScript; not by adding too many tags

Can any one suggest an existing plugin that can be customized easily and is not bloated like most of the other plugins.

Here is a jQuery plugin which provides similar functionality: http://malsup.com/jquery/cycle/lite/
