That could easily be done with javascript. It would be pretty similar to the slider used in several places on apple.com except the slide would be on hover instead of on click.
 
Yes! That would work. I do not know js very well. Know of any tutorials or free GNU licensed scripts to get started?
 
The best thing to use is jquery and some javascript. Just google jquery image scroller. You will find a heap of them, and most are very easy to install and get going.

The jquery library is excellent, and you can do a lot of things that previously required flash.
 
I built one of these recently for a guy wanting to do this in Wordpress.

HTML:
$(function(){
	$('#content').wrapInner('<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tr>');
	$('#content img').wrap('<td>');
});

Then all the images rest in a #content div and you're done.

HTML:
.home #content img{float:left;height:400px;margin:0 5px}
#content{width:100%;margin-top:290px;display:inline-block}

Didn't write anything for jumping around, but that should be simple enough.
