I've been fiddling with this myself. Can't do it just in the jnlp, from
my asking around.
My solution is currently to have an autorun startup macro in the ij.jar
called by my jnlp file. The autorun macro simply runs another macro from
a file at a url. The second macro contains a line that opens a movie
file. This might work for your images too. I have a Perl script that
actually rewrites the second server-side macro file to point to an
arbitrary selection from a movie collection, based on a user mouse click
in a web page.
Try clicking a "...Mov" link @
http://glowormnotes.blogspot.com to see
an example at work.
I can send you code bits as well.
