I can manage to get the flash .swf files into a javascript array, yes, but can anyone suggest the code needed in order to create a revolving image from that array which will replace the previos image each time on a time delay?

I have managed to do this with image files (see the code below) butit does not work when I use .swf files. I have no idea why, I thought the principle would be the same?

<!-- Begin
var interval = 2.5; // delay between rotating images (in seconds)
var random_display = 1; // 0 = no, 1 = yes

var image_index = 0;
image_list = new Array();
image_list[image_index++] = new imageItem("xxx/new/xsp/artists/5thavenue/images/artist.gif");

this.image_item.src = image_location;

return Math.floor(Math.random() * range) + x;

var recur_call = "rotateImage('"+place+"')";
setTimeout(recur_call, interval);

The problem is PHP is processed on the server, you are wanting something that works on the client side.

You would still use PHP to get a list of available images, and store that say in a javascript array.
