Random Flash Movies

A question was posted on another board that the poster wanted random flash
movies to display as the page is reloaded. I posted the script below and
said I thought it could be adapted but that the echo would probably need to
change. Can someone offer some guidance on this? Thanks

Gary

//Chooses a random number
$num = Rand (1,6);
//Based on the random number, gives a quote
switch ($num)
{
case 1:
echo "";
break;
case 2:
echo "";
break;
case 3:
echo "";
break;
case 4:
echo "";
break;
case 5:
echo "";
break;
case 6:
echo "";
}
?>

Call the movies 1.swf, 2.swf it will make it easier. If not, put them in
an associative array. Then, once the random number has been chosen,
output all the code needed for embedding the Flash player, and in-place
of the movie clip name, put your variable. The switch above is
unnecessary, as it will mean a lot of duplication.


Thanks,

What Ash said, something like:

$flashVids =3D array();
$flashVids[] =3D '/path/to/movie.swf';
$flashVids[] =3D '/different/path/movie.swf';
..... //add any amount more

$randomMoviePath =3D $flashVids[array_rand($flashVids)];

echo "Random flash movie: " . $randomMoviePath;
