Banner Add Manager Image timing

On the Banner Add Images the length of time each image
stays in view is set by the person in the Banner Add
Manager box at the beginning, 1 sec or 2 sec or 4 sec
etc.........
Is there a way to have different times for each image to
stay in view before going to the next image.
For example: Image 1 - 2 sec
Image 2 - 2 sec
Image 3 - 6 sec
Image 4 - 4 sec
I tried putting another HTML image time in the applet
thinking it would use the new time but that didn't work.

Thanks
 
You are limited to the option available, and these options apply to all
images. Also be aware that many Windows XP and IE6 user will not be able to
view the Java Banner Ad Manager applet, as they do have a Java Virtual
Machine (JVM) installed.

You mean do NOT have JVM installed?

OK, let's make sure I understand what you are telling me.

The reason I am still in doubt is the Banner Add Manager
Program will only handle 9 images "BUT" you can add as
many images as you want, you just have to add them
manually using HTML code.

Now you are telling me that I can not apply different
timing to different images by adding or modifying the HTML
code because the program won't allow it, but at the same
time the program will allow me to manually add more images
using HTML.

Is this correct?
 
Correct. Timing is usually set as a single applet parameter. There is
typically one parameter that is used for timing all the images, no
matter how many images are used. I'm sure a JAVA whiz could rewrite the
applet to do what you want but that would mean rewriting the .class and
..jar files that are running the applet. It's not a simple thing to do.

But most importantly, don't miss the point the others are making.
Applets require that JAVA software be installed and running on the
visitor's pc. Many XP users are JAVA-less so will never see your banner
applet in the first place. That includes a large number of surfers out
there who won't be bothered with timing issues at all <g>.

If you're still stuck on using a banner applet..... One thing I just
thought of that may or may not work well since I haven't seen the applet
in use is to insert the banner you wish to appear for a longer time as a
second consecutive entry in your applet list. That way it should
theoretically get twice the show time of banner inserted just once. This
should work best if there are no image transitions programmed into the
applet. Just something you may want to test.....
