I would say a password protected php page on their domain which allows
them to upload/delete images, and then generates an xml file which is
read by the flash file would be the way to do it. (This coming from a
php orientated developer, though ;)

Bear in mind that if you do the menu system in flash, screen-readers and
search engines will not be able to see any of the other pages on the
site, though.
