Ok, I've got a random image script on the homepage that I'm working on.....

But, is it possible to have a similar thing that uses .swf's instead of .gifs and .jpgs ??

Does anyone know if that can be done ?? (presumably with a different script)

try your script with SWFs - The image script is calling a file so should it really mater what the file type is?

Don't quote me

correct, don't quote him. they're placed on the page using different code.

<img src="whatever.whatever">

whereas flash requires the swf to be embedded in the page.

you'd have to go php or asp for this.

I think it can be done from within flash.
I have been looking for that type of script
a while ago, but it turned out I did not needed it
anymore, so...

that makes sense - so could you ask the Javascript to call imbed instead of img src?

I guess I could create a flash movie to load a random scene/movie onLoad - could I ??

how about creating a movie that calls at random either swfs, jpegs or gifs from a specified folder, for a specified period of time.

that way, you'd only have to add/delete images or swfs to the folder and not re-create the main swf each time you wanted to add an image?

Sounds like a plan, Stan.
