Rotating Ad Banner

I am trying to figure out how to create a rotating homepage banner with news stories in dreamweaver. I know how to do rotating images but I saw one (see link below) that had text, images, and link. Cannot find anything on how to do this.

Creating Rotating Banner HELP NEEDED PLEASE

* Best software to create a rotating JAVA banner with *
Hi
Sorry if I am asking a really silly question. I've spent about an hour surfing the web for a clear answer but haven't come up with anything.
I am having a W3C compliant website built and I need to create a JAVA/AJAX based image similar to how this works: [Gerrard Investments|http://www.gerrard.com/homepage.htm] but I don't have a clue where to start.
What programme do I use to create something like that?_ Preferably I's like to use a freeware application, otherwise I have Photoshop, Fireworks, Dreamweaver, Frontpage should any of those do it. I'd really really appreciate any advice. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Regards.

You're throwing out words, but you don't seem to know what they mean.

Simple web banner with links

I give. I've tried and tried to google, check forums, etc. and cannot find the exact answer to what I believe should be simple (if you know what you are doing).
I need a simple rotating web banner with three photos. Each photo represents a different event and needs a different link to a different brochure.
I have Dreamweaver CS3, Photoshop CS and Imageready CS.
Please help if you have a moment to spare. I would greatly appreciate it!

NivoSlider is one option that can do what you want.

To link the images, just wrap the images inside <a> tags, as per the usage page.

Problem with flash banners in browser

I have a very frustrating problem with my browser (any browser) opening a flash banner. On my website we have a rotating flash banner and when I open it all four banners open at the same time. It happens on several pages, but not in every page with a banner. I have tried emptying my cache and turning off Kaspersky, but to no avail.
Does anyone know what could be happening???

my page is www.sojournfargo.org, but the page works on my wife's computer and the web designer's computer. I also can't see the banner on www.inforum.com where the news rotates.

Error message: 1021: Duplicate function definition.

Hi All,
First let me start by saying that I know next to nothing about Flash. I have inherited a website maintenance project that has a Flash rotating image banner. I have managed to get the images to fade-in and fade-out correctly, but now I need to make these images clickable - linking images to pages in the website. I have read many posts here and have reviewed the video tutorials. I have been able to get the first image clickable using this AS3 action:
mars_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClickHandler);
function buttonClickHandler(event:MouseEvent) :void {
        navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://somewebsite/mars.php"));
        trace("I'm clicked");
However, when I attempt to make another image clickable by using a different instance of a button I get the error message:
1021: Duplicate function definition.
I have a separate instance of a button with this AS3 action:
jupiter_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClickHandler);
function buttonClickHandler(event:MouseEvent) :void {
        navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://somewebsite/jupiter.php"));
        trace("I'm clicked");
Obviously I'm not understanding how I'm supposed to do this so that I don't create a duplicate function definition. Any help would be most appreciated.

excuse me , I have a question i hope that you help .. ( im new in here )
we were asked to create an interactive application on flash in two languages..
so i created two different fla files same exact codings ... i was wondering how can i combine them so the viewer can be able to choose the language from a button ?
when i try to combine them i get lots of errors of duplications in the actionscript
PS : MY MAIN PAGE INCLUDES A CAROUSEL with images ..
I was thinking of saving one of the fla as a movie and then add it some how to the second fla and combine it with a button but i can't figure it how..
i hope i was clear enough.. but is there any possibility to help me please ?!
when i tend to change names or something it creates error.. ( IM NOT A PRO IN AS3 ) and when i dublicate the scenes it give duplication errors.. WHAT IS THE SOLUTION ??
this is the code of the actionscript in the main page.. ( the carousel's code i took from someone ) and i used it on my project
import com.ccanvas.carousel.*;
var centerX:Number = stage.stageWidth/4;
var centerY:Number = stage.stageHeight/4;
var carc:Carousel = new Carousel(centerX, centerY, 256, 75, "icons.xml");
carc.addTooltip(new tooltip); // use 'tooltip' movieclip for item tooltip
addChild(carc); // add carousel to stage
function down(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace(event.currentTarget.toolText); // simple click interaction
function destroyCarousel(event:MouseEvent):void {
carc.destroy(); // remove all item in carousel as well as tooltip
function removeNextItem(event:MouseEvent):void {
if(carc.numOfItems > 2) {
carc.removeItem(2); // remove the item next to the remove item icon
create.addEventListener("mouseDown", createCarousel);
function createCarousel(event:MouseEvent):void {
if(carc.CREATED == false) {
// recreate the carousel
carc = new Carousel(centerX, centerY, 256, 75, "icons.xml");
carc.addTooltip(new tooltip);
addChild(carc);

Working with Folders and Sub-Folders

I'm updating this big site, and its pages are organized into
folders. I've only ever organized my images and .pdf files with
folders not my html files but all my prior sites have never had so
many files as this one. It’s starting to drive me crazy
though because pages in folders aren't connecting to scripts in the
scripts folder, menus aren't working right because of it and I'm
not sure what I can do to fix it.
My question is if images are showing up in these sub-pages,
the linked css is being applied in these sub-pages why are the
scripts not working in the sub-pages? For example, all the top
level pages easily connect to the rotating JavaScript banner, but
as soon as you go into a sub-folder page the banner disappears. All
these files are being updated via templates so any changes I'm
doing is affecting all the pages the same. That’s why
it’s confusing me why an image would connect the same but a
script wouldn't. Don't they search for their links root down or
does it search the folder its in down? How can you get templates to
work under such conditions where files are both in the root and in
folders and sub-folders?
Site reference is:
http://golfforkids.net/focus/index.html
Please note that this is a temporary domain for testing. The
top menu will pop up a window saying that it needs to be
registered. They are, just not to that domain and I don't have
access to the native domain. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Thank you for any clarification!!!

''"Are you subscribed to those subfolders?
File (Alt-F) - Subscribe"''
Please see #2 in original post:
''"2) Trying to Subscribe to folders only shows Inbox, not sub-folders for Inbox."''
Attached is an image illustrating this (this screenshot was taken after forcing Thunderbird to show Inbox folders as described in #3 of OP)
{In OP I was unable to attach images}

Java script will not work after creating new page

I am using dreamweaver cs3 and have a java script to rotate a banner in a template. This script has worked fine in the past when I created pages in Dreamwever. Now the script works fine only when I test it in a template but when I try to upload to my ISP the script will no longer work. At first I thought it was the ISP made changes but the person who sits next to me running the same version of Dreamweaver can create a page and the java works. The java is placed in a template, tested by viewing in a brower and it works, however once I try to create a new page using the template the scriipt will not work. To get around this I have the person sitting next to me save my template and then I can create pages. Also if I save the template with my pc and it updates the pages created by the template the java will no longer work.
This is very frustrating as I cannot create or modify my template on this pc. What would prevent this from working?

OK - now we are on to something ..... the script on the template only contains:
function randomImages(){
if(counter == (imgs.length)){
    counter = 0;
MM_swapImage('rotator', '', imgs[counter++]);
setTimeout('randomImages()', delay);
However when I create a new page from the template with this javascript in it the code changes to:
function randomImages(){
if(counter == (imgs.length)){
    counter = 0;
MM_swapImage('rotator', '', imgs[counter++]imgs[i]);
function randomImages(){
if(counter == (imgs.length)){
    counter = 0;
MM_swapImage('rotator', '', imgs[counter++]);
setTimeout('randomImages()', delay);

Banner (rotative)...ANY HELP WILL BE REWARDED!!!!

Hello you guys,
Im working on the development of a rotative banner, for someone that doesnt know what it isis a banner (in several web pages you can find one) that change the image present in it once on a while (every certain time), and each one of those image represent a point of entry for accessing to an specific placein almost all of the cases, different web pages in my case a specific portals role, user profile. The images that I want to present in the banner are store in the km repository. I found a solution that serves me well for my purpose, but I need to find another solution for achieve my goal and now I going to explain why:
Im using a JSPDynpage PAR, as a parameters of this *.PAR , I get the all the paths where the images are physically store on the server, the names of those images and the paths of the roles (in the PCD) associated to each one of those image. In the before output method, I get the complete path where the image is store, and put it (render it) on my iview, then is executed a wait method and finally with the SUBMIT method, I send again the information (some variables that I need to change the image in the banner) to the browser and that result in the continuing refresh (request response cycle) of my browser. Its important to know that only the iviews *.PAR is refreshing when the submit method is execute, not all the page. Know, like I said before all works fine, but the problem is that I want to do this but I dont want that my browser refresh every certain timeso the question is: is there another way to do this using EPCM API and avoiding the use of the submit method (no refresh the browser)?
Here is the source code if someone need to look it for give me some answers. Any help will be rewarded. Thanx a lot!!!

Hi,
there is a possibility to make a request to the server without refresh. You can use the XMLHttpRequest object.
1. create an AbstractPortalComponent component, that will return the desired output into the response (image with link). Let's call this component DataComponent.
2. create a component, that will output a DIV object with ID for example "myDivId" and a Javascript, that will periodically call a JS function (some JS <i>setTimeout(JsFunctionToCall(), waitTimeInMiliseconds)</i>). In this function you will create a XMLHttpRequest object (different for Mozilla and MSIE):
var xmlhttp = null;
// not MSIE
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
// MSIE
else if (window.ActiveXObject)
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
now prepare the JS function that handles the output (takes the output from XMLHttpRequest object and puts it as is into the DIV contents):
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {stateXMLDocChanged();}
then set up (dataURL is the URL to DataComponent):
xmlhttp.open("POST",dataUrl,true);
...and get the data:
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
xmlhttp.send(null);
else
xmlhttp.send();
Now create the function that fetches the data and puts it into the DIV contents (get the DIV object with id 'myDivId' == myDiv)
stateXMLDocChanged(){
myDiv.innerHTML=g_xmlhttp.responseText;
This is just a draft of a possible solution. You can see the concept working in our "EFP portal" <a href="http://www.szif.cz">www.szif.cz</a> (there is only one HTML for the output - no frames, no IFrames, but the 'iviews' are refreshed only 'locally').
Hope this helps you a bit,
Romano
PS: and yes, <a href="http://www.szif.cz">www.szif.cz</a> is a real SAP Portal

Help with embedding XML / Flash Banner Rotator?!?

problem here :
Really, all of you thank you so much for your help, it is appreciated more than you know! Thank you!

Hi
All I am seeing is your actual page layout, no code.
But as you say it is an xml file (swf), it is more than likely that you have placed the swf and xml files in incompatible places. So without seeing your code, all I can suggest is to check the file placement of all items.
PZ
Can see the code now, for some reason it was rendering the code, not displaying it until I refreshed the page.

Create A Rotator Banner in DW?

Hey, I have Dreamweaver MX and I was wondering if it was
possible to create a banner of rotating images. I just want a
series of 5 images to rotate on a loop. I’d like to be able
to fade up/down, but that’s not really necessary.
Thanks! :)

http://www.kaosweaver.com/extensions/details.php?id=85
will rotate when page is refreshed etc. it is free but paul
accepts
donations

Need help with Banner Rotator

I'm trying to help a friend with the Flash Banner Rotator
She needs to make the image clickable and pop up the scroll text box item exactly like when you rollOver the title and the scroll text box pops up.
She wants the image to trigger the text box to open and close onRelease and onRollOut from the image.
Here's the swf live:
http://bgehome.com/index3.php
Any help would be great
This AS opens the Text Box
textMc.scrolltxt.bg.onRollOver = function(){                                            // pop up scrolltxt
        mainContent["tex" + newPos]._y = thumbHeight - textMc.scrolltxt.bg._height;
        isReading = true;
    textMc.scrolltxt.bg.onRollOut = textMc.scrolltxt.bg.onReleaseOutside = function(){        // pop down scrolltxt
        if(!mainContent["tex" + newPos].scrolltxt.bg.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)){

As is always the case in this sort of situation, you ask the printer, or banner maker. If you have a particular company in mond, they may have a website with guidelines, and that is going to be much better information than the guesses - good though 'some' of them might be.
25' by 16' is huge. Have you found somewhere that will make it? This company will supply 25 foot long banners, at a surprisingly cheap $176, but only 3 foot high. The problem being the width of the printer.

Banner rotating with audio

Hello,
Could any one tell me how can I rotate banners with audio for every 10 seconds. Source code will be helpful.
Thanks

<div id="whiskey" style="position:absolute; width:475px;
height:60px;
z-index:3; left: 351px; top: 486px; visibility: hidden;">
<div align="center"><img
src="images/sponsors/whiskey.gif" width="475"
height="60"></div>
</div></td>
<td width="73%"
This layer "whiskey" is in a table cell (see the closing
</td> tag
immediately after the closing </div> tag for the
layer). That's a nono.
Please read this about how to work with layers -
http://www.thepattysite.com/layer_laws.cfm
Anyhow, the simplest fix for you would be the following.
Change this -
<div id="whiskey"
to this -
<div style="position:relative"><div id="whiskey"
and this -
</div></td>
<td width="73%"
to this -
</div></div></td>
<td width="73%"
and see what happens.

How to add fade element to rotating banner (javascript)

Hi! I'd like to add a fade element to a rotating banner. Does anyone have any ideas? My code is as follows:
HTML:
<div style="position:absolute; z-index:2;">
<a href="linkPage.html"><img src="images/factoryhack2v3.jpg" width="1136" height="285" id="adBanner" border="0"/></a>
</div>
Javascript:
window.onload = initBannerLink;
var adImages = new Array("images/img1.jpg","images/img2.jpg","images/img3.jpg");
var adURL = new Array("URL here","URL here");
var thisAd = 0;
function rotate() {
thisAd++;
if (thisAd == adImages.length) {
thisAd = 0;
document.getElementById("adBanner").src = adImages[thisAd];
setTimeout("rotate()", 3 * 3000);
function newLocation() {
document.location.href = "http://www." + adURL[thisAd];
return false;
function initBannerLink() {
if (document.getElementById("adBanner").parentNode.tagName == "A") {
document.getElementById("adBanner").parentNode.onclick = newLocation;
rotate();
Thanks so much in advance for any assistance

Lots of different effects for rotating banners are built in to these jQuery plugins:

Rotating Flash Ad Banner on Browser Refresh...

Is there a way, using Flash 8, that I can create a Flash
Banner which rotates images everytime the browser is refreshed?
Many thanks -
Kevin

// Action script...
// [Action in Frame 3]
bar._xscale = 1;
// [Action in Frame 5]
bar._xscale = 100 / getBytesTotal() * getBytesLoaded();
_root.display = math.floor(100 / getBytesTotal() * getBytesLoaded());
if (_framesloaded == _totalframes)
    play ();
else
    setProperty("", _currentframe, --_currentframe);
    setProperty("", _currentframe, _currentframe);
    setProperty("", _currentframe, --_currentframe);
    gotoAndPlay(_currentframe);
} // end else if
// [Action in Frame 6]
gotoAndPlay(7);
// [Action in Frame 7]
stop ();
