Need a banner rotator

I need a free ad banner rotator. Like a code that I can just insert in the ad space of my template.
Any suggestions????

Do you mean one that keeps rotating whilst the page is being used or one that displays a different ad(image) each time you refresh the page.

Ideally you would have the banner slideshow in either flash or javascript. Flash preferred.

Then on your side (i.e. on the server side) you would use a random script generated in php or something similar. Of course it could all be done on the client side using javascript - but I wouldn't.

I use http://www.phpadsnew.com/ and find it to be easy to setup and very feature rich.

I am very much not a fan of phpAdsNew. On all but the smallest sites it is rather sluggish, and the code is very inefficient. Unfortunately I don't have any other free solutions for you either, though.

I still can't tell whether you want to rotate an ad or a image?

If it is an image there are alot of codes on the web but this one may help you:

Put the following code where you would like the image to appear:
