Has anyone figured out how to stop the "flickering" of the screen when your running your banners on active?

[Tilly]

Only thing I have found that works is setting the Duration to 10000 is there anything else?

Hack looks great but I really need the ability to have multiple triggers like"

"$cyb_flashimagebanners1" and "$cyb_flashimagebanners2"

So that I could designate what banners were shown where. Maybe have a comma delimited list in the ads settings in ADMINCP.

I have the same problem.
I found that this mods create 2 empty strings for the banners. and this try to show a 2 empty gif. Maybe this causes the flickering

_NEW.bnr("IMAGE", "clear.gif", "0", "0", "0", "x", "y", "-2");
_NEW.bnr("IMAGE", "clear.gif", "0", "0", "0", "x", "y", "-1");
_NEW.bnr("IMAGE", "DR/banners/DK-Banner.jpg", 5, 60, 468, "http://digireflex.net/forumdisplay.php?f=48", "DK-Ventas", "1");
_NEW.bnr("IMAGE", "DR/banners/miamibaires.jpg", 5, 60, 468, "http://www.miamibaires.com", "Miamibaires", "2");
_NEW.bnr("IMAGE", "DR/banners/electectonicsba.jpg", 5, 60, 468, "http://digireflex.net/forumdisplay.php?f=61", "ElectronicsBA", "3");
_NEW.bnr("IMAGE", "DR/banners/melelectronics.jpg", 5, 60, 468, "http://digireflex.net/forumdisplay.php?f=62", "MelElectronics", "4");

Help will be apreciated.

Hi,

I installed it on localhost and I have this error above the navbar:

; } else if (this.aCybs[iCtr].bnrType == "IMAGE") { bannerinfo = bannerinfo + ''+this.aCybs[iCtr].bnrTitle+''; } bannerinfo = bannerinfo + ''; } return bannerinfo; } Cbnr.prototype.start = function() { this.changeCbnr(); var thisCbnrObj = this.obj; setTimeout(thisCbnrObj+".start()", this.aCybs[this.currentCbnr].bnrDuration * 1000); } Cbnr.prototype.changeCbnr = function(){ var oldCbnr=this.currentCbnr; while (this.currentCbnr==oldCbnr) { this.currentCbnr=Math.round((this.aCybs.length-1)*Math.random()); } if (document.getElementById(this.aCybs[oldCbnr].bnrID).style.display=='block') { document.getElementById(this.aCybs[oldCbnr].bnrID).style.display="none"; } document.cbgoto.id.value = this.aCybs[this.currentCbnr].bnrID; document.cbgoto.url.value = this.aCybs[this.currentCbnr].bnrURL; document.getElementById(this.aCybs[this.currentCbnr].bnrID).style.display="block"; }
