this depends on the platform you want to use:
serverside
read the txt file into arrays nd execute this
[sort of pseudo code, asp-vbs + client js, not ready coding]
<%
Set fs = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set ListFile = fs.OpenTextFile(FilePath, ForReading)
%>
<script>
max=<%..read.%>
n=0
<% for m=0 to max %>
imag[++n]=<%..read..%>
imagtime[n]=<%..read..%>
<% next%>
</script>
<img src="" id="photo">
<script>
n=0
nextimg()
function nextimg(){
photo.src=imag[n]
nn = n
n = (n<max)? n+1 : 0
setTimeout("nextimg()",imagtime(nn)*1000)
}
</script>
