Put all your swf files in a folder named as ‘images’ or whatever you name it (change folder name in script) and use this script to display a random flash movie, everytime page loads.
PHP Code
<?php $imglist=''; //$img_folder is the variable that holds the path to the swf files. // see that you dont forget about the "/" at the end $img_folder = "images/"; mt_srand((double)microtime()*1000); //use the directory class $imgs = dir($img_folder); //read all files from the directory, ad them to a list while ($file = $imgs->read()) { if (eregi("swf", $file)) $imglist .= "$file "; } closedir($imgs->handle); //put all images into an array $imglist = explode(" ", $imglist); $no = sizeof($imglist)-2; //generate a random number between 0 and the number of images $random = mt_rand(0, $no); $image = $imglist[$random]; //display random swf echo '<embed src="'.$img_folder.$image.'" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100" height="100"></embed>'; ?>

Random Image Display Onload PHP Script
<?php $imglist=''; //$img_folder is the variable that holds the path to the swf files or images files. // see that you dont forget about the "/" at the end $img_folder = "images/"; mt_srand((double)microtime()*1000); //use the directory class $imgs = dir($img_folder); //read all files from the directory, ad them to a list while ($file = $imgs->read()) { if (eregi("jpg", $file)) $imglist .= "$file "; } closedir($imgs->handle); //put all images into an array $imglist = explode(" ", $imglist); $no = sizeof($imglist)-2; //generate a random number between 0 and the number of images $random = mt_rand(0, $no); $image = $imglist[$random]; //display random swf echo '<img src="'.$img_folder.$image.'" width="100" height="100">'; ?>

Thank you!!
Thanks … this has been a life saver for me. I do have a question though. Once a random swf is playing, can it be set to play the other files in the directory in an endless loop until the page is reloaded?
@Kevin: Of course. Just try that. Echo that whatever you want in loop. Any file.
I should have mentioned that I’m just learning … how do I do that? Thanks again!
@Kevin: Okay you have to just change swf in following line
if (eregi(“swf”, $file))
which becomes
if (eregi(“jpg”, $file))
in case of jpg images
and change the lines in echo for images.
echo > img src tags instead of embed tags
See the second example I posted above.
Great … thanks again!
me the script works correctly, but what if I want to put a swf with transparent background? Where do we draw the parameters?
hi nice script..used it..and working fine. i have a question, though. how can we make it go to next swf or previous swf files?
Hi
Thanks for this wonderful information it help me alot..
@sid: Just refresh the page. Its random! Remember?
@Francisco Aldunate: There is a wmode parameter for flash files to make these transparent.

I have been searching forever for a script like this. Thanks!!! I do have one question though. I am only working with 3 swf files right now and it pulls up the same one over and over quite often. Is there a way to change this code to make it pull them in order instead of randomly? I am very, very new to PHP so please be specific. Thanks for you help.
WOW!… amazing… this has been a tough one to find out there.
Is there a way that I can supress the #55555 random number at the end of the url?
Awesome code thanks! Is there a way to have it pull random files from a folder that contains gifs and swf files. For instance, on one load it might be a swf but on another load it may be an animated gif.
Is it possible to allow full screen in the PHP code?
@flashcode: Nop!That would be using javascript. See this: http://www.webstylepress.com/j.....-part-1/3/
