[RESOLVED] [vs2005] random flash banner

[jlbantang]

hi, how you load a random swf from code behind?

html

<Bewise:FlashControl ID="bannerflashcontrol" runat="server" Height="245px" MovieUrl="<%=rand_banner %>" Width="707px" loop="true" />

vb

    Public Function rand_banner() As String
        Dim banner_arr() As String = New String() {"~/images/banner1.swf", "~/images/banner2.swf", "~/images/banner3.swf"}

        Dim i As Integer = a.RandomNumber(0, 2) 'call class helper to generate random num(min, max)

        Return banner_arr(i).ToString
    End Function

Thanks.

so why does adding attributes did not turn to work as well?

vb

bannerflashcontrol.Attributes.Add("MovieUrl", "~/images/banner1.swf")

Hey,

When you view the page in the browser, and right click and view source, what do you see on the page? By that I mean, find the bannerflashcontrol, and then copy and paste the html here.
