Ronaldo,

I’m sure this is 6 months too late, but I wanted to respond to your inquiry about randomizing flash banners. I tried David’s code to call Flash banners and it worked perfectly. This is the snippet of code I used:

…and this is how I used it:

.swf” width=”600″ height=”125″>
.swf” />

I hope this helps.

Thanks for this. There is a plugin apparently but it may not be uptodate and compatible with recent versions of wordpress. The only thing I would add is that if your theme uses a seperate .css style sheet it will be necessary to tell your server to parse for php inside the .css file with a .htaccess file containing
AddType application/x-httpd-php .css
assuming a linux server.

Hi Ronaldo, sorry, I can’t help you with Flash. However I’m sure the answer would involve modifying the header.php template file replacing the header image with a Flash file instead.

Very cool method for images!
I have tried without success to have a flash animation at the same place the header image is located.
Any suggestion?
Thank you.

Thanks! I think the PHP way is easier for my needs.

Thanks D’Arcy, I’ll check out the Automatic Rotator script. I wanted to do my own little hack though just so that I could get a slight insight into some of the (easier) inside workings of WP, plus I’m slowly teaching myself PHP But that’s what I love about the web and weblogs, there are always so many ways to accomplish the same or similar tasks.

Cool. There’s an easier way, though… I use the “Automatic Rotator” script, which automatically picks an image from a folder, and spits it out on request – so you can just set the background of a div to the php file itself, and it will Do The Right Thing… Also works when used in static HTML (as long as it can “see” the php file, which will execute on its own and return an image)
