    Is it an ad rotator or just a random image? Also what technology are you wanting to use?

    Example of how to do it using javascript:

    Code:
    <html>
<head>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
var theImages = new Array()

theImages[0] = '1.gif'
theImages[1] = '2.gif'
theImages[2] = '3.gif'
theImages[3] = '4.gif'

var j = 0
var p = theImages.length;
var preBuffer = new Array()
for (i = 0; i < p; i++){
preBuffer[i] = new Image()
preBuffer[i].src = theImages[i]
}
var whichImage = Math.round(Math.random()*(p-1));
function showImage(){
document.write('<img src="'+theImages[whichImage]+'">');
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
showImage();
</script>
</body>
</html>

    it can be done something like this

    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"><!--
    function makeArray(len)
    {
    for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) this[i] = null;
    this.length = len;
    }
    // This is where the array of imagesis created.
    wwwRand = new makeArray(3);
    wwwRand[0] = "<img src='images/photos/image1.jpg' border='0' width='268' height='132' hspace='0' vspace='0' alt='image1'>";
    wwwRand[1] = "<img src='images/photos/image2.jpg' border='0' width='268' height='132' hspace='0' vspace='0' alt='image2'>";
    wwwRand[2] = "<img src='images/photos/image3.jpg' border='0' width='268' height='132' hspace='0' vspace='0' alt='image3'>";

    // The random number generator.
    function rand(n)
    {
    seed = (0x015a4e35 * seed) % 0x7fffffff;
    return (seed >> 6) % n;
    }
    </script>

    Yup... i know its kool!!!

    i think the people already sumed it up. I read bout that in my java book over the summer too. You could use it for all sorts of stuff like pics, words, quotes, and anything else you can think im pretty sure. Starcraft Legacy has a quote generator i think sorta like your picture generator!\

    Have fun with your new found knowledge
