I use XML for my folio, images, data, and news and use XML notepad to edit the XML. "Tree View" allows you to input data without really having to see the code (however it also has a XSL Output view so you can see the actual XML data). I think that's about as easy as its going to get without using a CMS. As far as paths go, you can just create individual elements for each folder path and then just connect the path and image name in the Flash code. You don't have to name the images 01, 02, 03 etc., you can just add the image paths into an array...which means you can name them whatever you want, you just have to have them in the right order in the XML file. With XML Notepad, you can just drag child elements around to whatever order you want too.
If you're looking to stay within a certain budget, maybe tell the client about this option and then teach them how to edit it.
XML Notepad is free too >
