/slideshow/:slug

Where :slug is the page slug of the current Radiant Page.

In your template, reference swfobject.js:

config.gem 'paperclip'

Then, create a section like the following, wherever you want the slideshow to appear:

The code above uses SWFObject to create the Flash embed code, using XML to populate the slideshow. This pulls all slides for the current page.
