    not sure if i understood correctly, but do you mean you want something to randomly choose one object out of a folder and implement it into the site?

    I have a bit of code I could share which is basically a PHP include and pulls an object out of a specified folder and plops it into the site content.

    An example on the front page of this site:
    www.nexteradesign.com/cdg/

    the large image near the top and the smaller one underneath are both randomly chosen from a folder full of images.

    Thank you for your reply.

    Let's just say that the video player, (i.e. m/s media player) that's already imbedded in the website, is playing a live stream of video.

    A user approaches, and touches the screen and makes a selection to view a video clip, stopping the live video stream, inserting a random commercial (10-15 secs), and then delivers the particular video clip.

    After his/her clip runs, or times out, it returns to the live video stream it was playing before the user stopped it.

    I like (and understand) how that site works that you mentioned fifty50, but I need all video, live, user selected, and random ad insertion, in a seamless interface. Just not sure of the best way to approach such a thing.

    Thanks again for the imput.
