Rotate Flash video on refresh

**jeagerjr** · 05-01-2008, 07:25 PM

Thanks for reading this thread.

I have a number of flash movies that I would like to rotate each time the page refreshes. They all have the same specs, just different content.

What is the best way to do this?

I do appreciate the advice.

Regards,

je

No problem, you're completely welcome

**tommo77funk** · 04-30-2009, 02:30 PM

Hi,

This is great ! thanks for posting this code it is just what I needed. I have one problem though I would like to use it on my wordpress site. It works for me when I put in a html page, but do you happen to know why I cant get it to work on a php site ?

Many thanks,

tom

**rangana** · 04-30-2009, 02:51 PM

Please provide a link to your WP page.

**tommo77funk** · 04-30-2009, 03:07 PM

hi,

Many thanks rangana, this is the page, it should appear in the box just below the top navigation menu.

http://www.panoraks.co.uk/

I inserted the code into a text widget, and have also tried inserting directly into php file, but no joy.

Thanks so much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you.

Cheers,

tom

p.s. cant post link until I make 5 posts apparently

**rangana** · 04-30-2009, 04:09 PM

There's a conflict of events.

Try to replace this part:

Code:

window.onload=function()

...with:

Code:

window.addEventListener?window.addEventListener('load',initRandVid,false):
window.attachEvent('onload',initRandVid);
function initRandVid()

Hope that helps.

WOW ! Thanks sooooo much !!!! It works, I am delighted, thank you a million times ! I cant tell you how happy I am now

thanks again,

tom
