You can add each thumbnail to the carouser and add each thumbnail a link to: a larg image, external URL or even a java script.
You also have a lot of preferences to customize and determin how the carousel will look or behave.
The flash file is a free file from flshow.
The plugin was written by Amir and you can see a life demonstration here: Fake magazine cover (scroll down)

Discussion
The plugin's download link does not work anymore. Does anybody has a version of the Carousel plugin, that could be uploaded to the wiki (if it's okay with the license)?
3 weeks ago another user mailed me the plugin. In the plugin'back-end I found the author's e-mail address, so I wrote him, but still got no reply. So I've uploaded the file to the wiki server and linked the download.
If anybody – particularly the author – has objections, please inform the operators of the wiki to remove the download.
