Hi all,

I have this little issue on my hands...

I have a swf file on this page

http://classicgames.servebeer.com/public/default.htm

but I want to rotate many swf files like the one shown on that page, but I want to rotate them via a javascript (if possible) based on the day of the week...Can that be done?

Yup. I know it works. I'm the one that made it.

Hi Adam,

Could you send me a javascript that does it then?

Tia

To use ADAM's code, just go to http://www.libreriapandevida.com/Javascripts/rotator.js and save the file

Hi,

...And to call that javascript?

Please help...

Tia

Check out the html source on ADAM's link for his example - I have not used it myself

I can't seem to get it working...

I am using this to call the js:

<script type="text/javascript" src="rotator.js">

Just getting a blank page

I even tried just substituting the filenames from the path in the javascript to 1.swf, 2.swf etc...and renaming my files to the corrosponding names, and it still didn't want to work.

Some more help available?

Tia

Then, is it possible you could figure this one out? I can't get this one to work either, but it looks a little less 'cryptic'. This one just 'sticks' when trying to load, it doesn't display, browser just keeps trying to load up, but it doesn't. Looks to me like a basic syntax error, but I can't find it.

Could you post the URL you tried it on? Maybe I can figure it out.

Http://classicgames.servebeer.com/public/scripts/rotate/test.html

Tia

Are you working on it?

You need the ending script tag.

</script>

ANY time you call an external Javascript without an ending script tag, you'll get that effect.

I tried it adding the </script> tag and still no good.

Try reposting the code the way you want me to test it, then i will test it.

Tia

Reposting it? I don't understand.

Yup. I know it works. I'm the one that made it.

Ok,

Then repost your *working* code so I can test it to see if it works on my server.

Tia

It's right there on the site. Take it and go nuts.

Thanks bud, I have got something out of nothing basically, but I got something, not the best, but, it'll do which is good.

Thanks again!

You're welcome, I think.
