Random Image

[jackyl]

I am making a document that has to draw upon a pool of images to display.

I have 6 pools of 4 images. Each pool will be used for a different section of the site. So, I need to identify what pool I need to draw from, and than pick one of the 4 images at random to display.

The images in each pool are named similar.

(business1.jpg, business2.jpg, bisiness3.jpg, business4.jpg)
(about1.jpg, about2.jpg, about3.jpg, about4.jpg)
etc.

any suggestions.

Sure... a little rand() magic.

Something like:

<CFSET randseed=randomize(DatePart(&quot;s&quot;,Now())*10000)>
 
<CFSWITCH expression=&quot;#RandRange(1,6)#&quot;>
   <CFCASE value=&quot;1&quot;>
	<CFSET imgpool = &quot;business&quot;>
   </CFCASE>
   <CFCASE value=&quot;2&quot;>
	<CFSET imgpool = &quot;about&quot;>
   </CFCASE>
       :
      etc

</CFSWITCH>

<CFOUTPUT><IMG SRC=&quot;/whateverdirectory/#imgpool##RandRange(1,4)#.jpg&quot; etc etc /></CFOUTPUT>

... adjust accordingly.
