Photo Gallery : How to do this with xml?

Hello,

I’ve searched for a few days about this, and keep going in circles. I am trying to create a photo gallery as shown on this website:

http://www.jinkyart.com.au/enter/gallery.htm

I want next/prev buttons, no thumbnails, and indication of how many photos are in each album (such as 1 of 10, 2 of 10, etc).

& I want to load the photos from xml.

If you can point me to a thread that covers all three, or a site with more tutorials that are easy to follow, this would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
