The website I am trying to develop has asked for a slider much like the one on Nowness.com.

The specific functionality they would like is that at the end of the slide show or video, an overlay comes up with links to other pages on the site. Ideally, it would be a grid of images, and perhaps no overlay at all. So, you come to the site, a video plays, and after the video is done, a grid of images comes up. I don't know if I'm being entirely clear, but I was wondering if anyone could take a look at Nowness and go to the end of the slideshow, and perhaps be able to tell me what technology they may be using to achieve that effect. Thank you.

I'm one of the developers at Createthe Group, who built the NOWNESS site. I worked on the feature you're referring to, and Su's reverse engineering is a great look at how it functions.

We used a basic "slideFader" plugin for the slide show part, with a callback set for the "onComplete" option. This callback disables the timer, sets up the "replay" functionality, and shows the overlay. The mediaOverlay is an object that has some basic functions for initalizing, opening and closing the overlay.

If we end up moving and releasing the feature into a stand alone plugin, I'll post it up here for other developers to use.

It uses HTML/JS for that. The only usage of Flash there is fullscreen mode of slideshow.
