How to grab all images in a post and transform into slideshow?

Take a look at a site using Autofocus, such as Samantha Lowe's site. For various reasons I do not want to use AutoFocus for my new project, but I'm wondering if there is a plugin I can use that will grab all the images in a post and turn them into a slideshow like that?

If not a plugin, what might be another way to get that kind of slideshow?

    Create a shortcode. Something like:


    

    
function news_slideshow_shortcode( $attr ) {
    
	global $post;
    

    
	/* Set up the defaults for the slideshow shortcode. */
    
	$defaults = array(
    
		'order' => 'ASC',
    
		'orderby' => 'menu_order ID',
    
		'id' => $post->ID,
    
		'size' => 'news-slideshow',
    
		'include' => '',
    
		'exclude' => '',
    
		'numberposts' => -1,
    
	);
    
	$attr = shortcode_atts( $defaults, $attr );
    

    
	/* Allow users to overwrite the default args. */
    
	extract( apply_atomic( 'slideshow_shortcode_args', $attr ) );
    

    
	/* Arguments for get_children(). */
    
	$children = array(
    
		'post_parent' => intval( $id ),
    
		'post_status' => 'inherit',
    
		'post_type' => 'attachment',
    
		'post_mime_type' => 'image',
    
		'order' => $order,
    
		'orderby' => $orderby,
    
		'exclude' => absint( $exclude ),
    
		'include' => absint( $include ),
    
		'numberposts' => intval( $numberposts ),
    
	);
    

    
	/* Get image attachments. If none, return. */
    
	$attachments = get_children( $children );
    

    
	if ( empty( $attachments ) )
    
		return '';
    

    
	/* If is feed, leave the default WP settings. We're only worried about on-site presentation. */
    
	if ( is_feed() ) {
    
		$output = "\n";
    
		foreach ( $attachments as $id => $attachment )
    
			$output .= wp_get_attachment_link( $id, $size, true ) . "\n";
    
		return $output;
    
	}
    

    
	$slideshow = '<div class="slideshow-set"><div class="slideshow-items">';
    

    
	$i = 0;
    

    
	foreach ( $attachments as $attachment ) {
    

    
		/* Open item. */
    
		$slideshow .= '<div class="slideshow-item item item-' . ++$i . '">';
    

    
		/* Get image. */
    
		$slideshow .= wp_get_attachment_link( $attachment->ID, $size, true, false );
    

    
		/* Check for caption. */
    
		if ( !empty( $attachment->post_excerpt ) )
    
			$caption = $attachment->post_excerpt;
    
		elseif ( !empty( $attachment->post_content ) )
    
			$caption = $attachment->post_content;
    
		else
    
			$caption = '';
    

    
		if ( !empty( $caption ) ) {
    
			$slideshow .= '<div class="slideshow-caption">';
    
			$slideshow .= '<a class="slideshow-caption-control">' . __( 'Caption', hybrid_get_textdomain() ) . '</a>';
    
			$slideshow .= '<div class="slideshow-caption-text">' . $caption . '</div>';
    
			$slideshow .= '</div>';
    
		}
    

    
		$slideshow .= '</div>';
    
	}
    

    
	$slideshow .= '</div><div class="slideshow-controls">';
    

    
		$slideshow .= '<div class="slideshow-pager"></div>';
    
		$slideshow .= '<div class="slideshow-nav">';

			$slideshow .= '<a class="slider-next">' . __( 'Next', hybrid_get_textdomain() ) . '</a>';
    
		$slideshow .= '</div>';
    

    
	$slideshow .= '</div>';
    

    
	$slideshow .= '</div><!-- End slideshow. -->';
    

    
	return apply_atomic( 'slideshow_shortcode', $slideshow );
    
}
    
	add_shortcode( 'slideshow', 'news_slideshow_shortcode' );


    This is from Justin Tadlock's theme News built on his Hybrid Core, but you should be able to adapt it for something similar.

    Then you will have to add some javascript to make it go - like the jQuery cycle plugin

    To grab images from the post you can use -
    - image grabber 1
    - get image
    - image grabber 2

    Once you get list of images from a particular post
    get an jquery/javascript/ajax slide-show plugin for the desired presentable output (slide-show).

    I am available to develop this for you in $20.
