Has anyone been able to devise a Flash Ad rotator similar to the sample found here:

Would love to see this as a mod. Would be great to advertise products on your storefront.

Also check out the admin side here

Another working example to see it in action

This shouldn't be too much work implementing. It's simply a matter of:
1) Adding a CCK field per product that can contain the banner image.
2) Setting up a simple query and output the small amount of HTML required for the flash to read and display the product data.

This would be something general for Drupal, not necessarily custom for just übercart.

If you don't have the skill to make this yourself I would recommend that you put a bounty out there. I strongly doubt that this is someting the core Übercart team is willing to implement at this time Smiling

Have a nice day.

I was thinking more of displaying & rotating products for sale on ubercart.

I have put the word out at drupal but no interest so far.

Yeah, I know that you want to use is specifically with übercart, but since products are regular nodes like everythin else i Drupal it would be easier to team up with someone else who needs this if you can search the entire drupal community instead of just the übercart forums Eye-wink
