Hi all -

I have just started working on this website

[ www.larrydevincenzi.com/SAtemp/sa.html ]

If you would take a moment to review the page (only the front page) and take note to the animated flash banner.

My origional intention was to create 5 or 6 of these banners (as I have done) and have some sort of script pull up the SWF files at random.

So far I have tried a few things - namely using PHP. I have got the PHP to display anything from GIF to JPG in random sequence (as you may notice at the very bottom, strange random images) but I cant seem to get it to pull up the SWF files, when the SWF is selected it just returns random.

Could anyone point me in the direction of advice?

Thanks!

Tony.

All you'd need to do is get an array to hold your SWF HTML, then generate a random number and use it to display one of the array items.

PHP Code:

<?php

$swf_html[] = 'html1';
$swf_html[] = 'html2';
$swf_html[] = 'html3';
// etc.

// if your PHP version is less then 4.2.0 then you'll need to
// seed the random number generator:
// [url]http://ca2.php.net/manual/en/function.mt-srand.php[/url]

$rand = mt_rand(0, count($swf_html) - 1);

echo $swf_html[$rand];

?>

Hope that helped
