Hey all,
we need to rotate banners on our site, so far we have a gif and a swf.
FP version is 2003, web server is not IIS-any suggestions, utilities,
downloads?

Explain again please - are you saying you have a 'number' of banners -
and you want to display them one after the other at specific
intervals? or ......
getting the gif(s) into the swf should do it?

swf is a Macromedia Flash file - you need that application to edit it.
gif is an image, you need an image editor - or in this case, an animation program
(to edit the animated gif).

the former...most of the javascripts I saw concerned rotating jpg's, and
i didn't know if it made any difference what i rotated. i have a gif,
and a swf right now.

You can rotate JPG and GIF, for SWF you will have to try it and see.

How are you planning to rotate the images, on each page load or change the images while the page is
open?

If on each page load then you may be able to do this with ASP/VBScript server-side.

If while the page is open, you will need to use JavaScript client-side to accomplish.

It would be a good idea to decide which format you want to use and not mix formats, so either use
all JPGs, GIFs or all SWF or with the SWF create a single file with all of the banners to be
rotated.

getting the ads.

Well tell them that different formats can't be mixed in the same space on the page and rotated,
unless you fine a method to do so.
