Refresh the browser window to see an example of Random Image in action

This action allows you to place a banner on your page and to have Freeway randomly choose the graphic that is displayed, with an optional hyperlink. If you wish to have, for example, advertising banners on your page (where each banner has a different link), this action will correctly associate the link with the banner.

The images can be applied to the page by either creating separate graphic items on the page and stacking them on top of each other. Or, you can draw just one graphic item and then apply the random Image action to it, selecting each image in turn from the hard drive in the Action Palette. If the images are stacked, then only the top image needs to have the Random Image action attached to this.

Place a check in the Img 1 column against the first random graphic and so on. If you want a specific image to be shown if, for example, Javascript is switched off in the browser, place a check in the normal column too.

The Parameters View of the action palette allows you to select URLs that are associated with that image, this can be a link within your current site or an external hyperlink.

So in the above example a link is being associated with image 1.

If you have a link applied to the Graphic item, this link will be the default link i.e. the link that is present if you do not have a link specifically associated with one of the graphics.

This action will not work with Image Maps.
