Hey There. I just tried adding a flash banner to the rotation and it is showing up blank. I put the swf file in the same directory as the other banners, along with the html file for the flash banner. If anyone could give me an idea of what I may be doing wrong, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your time.
