Based on Jeroen Wijering's Flash Image Rotator, and a predecessor to the popular Flash JPG Rotator Module we have updated this module to the next version (2.0). This module is renamed to the Flash Image Rotator as it now supports PNG, GIF, and JPG images. There are a lot of enhancements to this version such as SEO optimization, transition additions, text navigation and icons, better control of link targets, autostart/pause, improved handling of Internet Explorer cache and more!

At that point you are hoping that the ad is compelling enough to get people to call/email/visit your site. If you get no leads from the ad, then you still had to pay the magazine the fee.
