If you use PHP, then the page must be refreshed on each image change, by using meta refresh for example.

The more common way to replace images is by using javascript. It's client-side so it'll be faster.

The site on ytour example is using Flash, which is good for animations (lotsa frames).

So, which one do you prefer? :D

it's "plugin" dependant I guess :D

most browsers nowadays will have flash installed. but most != all. I myself doesn't like it so much. my everyday browser is firefox without the flash plugin =D

flash animation is created with "macromedia flash", so you do need to obtain and learn it first.
