Hi, im re-building my website, and for the new design i want a flash application that can show a number of images, and have a link attached to each image

kindof like the flash app on www.gamespot.com, is that possible with any of the tools from coffeecup?

Have you tried Firestarter? You can get a free trial period. It has "hot spots" that will allow you to make a linked section to whatever web page you want. If won't do the mouseover effects that can be seen on you example link, but it can link different sections of the flash to different web page.

i have firestarter (though i dont use it much as it keeps crashing and hanging) but is it possible to make it load new images everytime a user updates the page?

i guess i should have been more informative of what i need.
I have a number of webpages each with a unique image and 3D model (as a downloadable file) attached to it, i need a flash app that can read which 5-10 are the newest and then show the image attached to them as a slidescreen show, either in chronologic order, or at random. and the image it shows should then link to their respective webpage.

is firestarter capable of doing that?

No, Firestarter is not capable of doing that.
