I agree with what Sam is saying. The original js script is not designed to handle swf files at all, so you will have a lot of re-writing ahead of you to shoehorn is Flash files into the workflow.
If you need to sometimes load swfs and sometimes use images for your ads, then it is probably a good idea to use one shell swf (JW iamge rotator etc), and have an XML file which describes the image/swf location and the clickthrough URL etc. Cheers, Aran On Wed, Nov 25, 2009 at 3:20 AM, Sam Sherlock <[email protected]>wrote: > all this seems very complicated and excessive too. > > If you used a banner rotation swf that uses xml to set the content that > would achieve the banner roation (swf gif png & jpg wouold all be fine) > > So I would use something like the JW Image rotator or slideshowpro > > also you could use the extended swfobject api to supply something like > jquery cylce plugin to display the same xml file (skipping the swfs) > > > > - S > > > > > 2009/11/24 craftne <[email protected]> > > Hello all, Hello Aran, >> >> I have an swf file to play in a series of rotating banners.
