**Short Story:**  
I’m looking for an ‘intro’ page for my amateur/hobby website. I have aprox 400images (and growing) that I’d like to load on a random basis for as long as the viewer wants to sit there and view them before going to the 'home page"  
current page is here: [http://www.goraiders.org/bike/](http://www.goraiders.org/bike/)

**Long Story:**  
I’ve meddled a bit but I am in over my head with what I’d like to to and am soliciting help.  
I did dabble with php random image and for whatever reason (me?), when the next image attempted to load i got all kinds of weird issues.  
I then (current status of intro page) did swf movie as a slide show. I must admit the clean nature of swf movies/slideshow seemed to this rookie to be a cleaner look. However, not random though, -so the movie always starts out the same -boring for viewers. I then thought perhaps a half-butt solution would be to break up the many images into many swf slide shows and have those swf files randomly load. I

not being very creative myself 🙂 , the intro page idea came from the cool intro page on [this(clicky)](http://www.advrider.com/) professional site. I’d like to do similar but need not be as fancy.

Not rich and famous but would gladly pay for someone’s expertise to create or help with a solution. Thanks much!
