How to make simple banner rotation?

In VBulletin3 I did something like this:

global_start plugin:

PHP Code:


		
			
$fr_bannerId = mt_rand(1,6);

$fr_bannerURL = "http://www.gsmforum.ru/images/ownpictures/". $fr_bannerId .'.swf';

ad_header_logo template

HTML Code:

<object width="500" height="90">

<param name="movie" value="$fr_bannerURL">

<embed src="$fr_bannerURL" width="500" height="90">

</embed>

</object>

But in VB4 it no longer works, of course. Moreover,

class_bootstrap.php, Line 289

PHP Code:


		
			
// advertising location setup

$ad_location['ad_header_logo'] = vB_Template::create('ad_header_logo')->render();

It seems, now the contents of advertisement templates can't be dynamically generated because template is rendered automatically and there is no way to insert vB_Template::register() call.

Can someone suggest an easy way to have simple banner rotation inside advertisement templates like I did in VB3, but in VB4?

If you really must code it yourself, then I don't know. But if you're willing to use a mod, this one works for me:
