Can you be more specific about what exactly is running slowly? The transition between each ad?

When you have a ton of code, please paste it to a code formatting service so it's easier to read, here:

http://pastebin.com/G55c4X2e

While I wait for your elaboration, is the ran_unique7() function merely to randomize an array of values? You can do that far easier and much more flexible like so:

var ran_items:Array = new Array(0,1,2,3,4,5,6);
function randomize(a:*, b:*):int { return ( Math.random() > .5 ) ? 1 : -1; }
// randomize
ran_items.sort(randomize);

Hi Thank you very much for your quick help

there is a motion tween in the ad banner for 150 frames (intial size of the banner is 300x250 but Banner expands as user roll over the mouse to 800x250 and comes back to 300x250 when user clicks on close button ) every thing is working fine for first 30min.

As the ad banner stays for long time on the web page lets say for example after 30 min, the motion tween gets very slow (each frame takes a second or more than that) so to play 150 frames it is taking let say for example more than 2 min.

I am designer and Problem is I am very new to action script to understand and write the proper logics. I goto online portals and get some idea and write the code and this stage very dificult for me to understand where is the leak and all.

I did check with your suggested code but unfortunatly its not refreshing the new feeds, feeds remain the same.

Thank you very much
