Banner Ads Help

Hello Everyone!
I have been desperately trying to find help on how to properly insert Banner Ads to a web page I am trying to create using Dreamweaver CS4. Cn anyone help me? I want to insert Banner ads like Google ads or 125 X125 ads from places like Linksahre or Comission Junction HTML or JavaScript Ads. Please someone help me. Thank you for your help and God Bless!

Thanks for your help. The code looks like this...
They come in different sizes 125x125 250 x250 468 x 60 and so on. These are the banner ads you see on pages. But I don't know how to insert
them to my page without the columns not staying in place.
Thanks for your help and have a great day!!

How to make agency-level HTML banner ads

I've done a ton of Flash banner ads at agency-level over the years, but I'm trying to figure out how to create html banners now, in addition.
Here are the HTML Ad Spec requirements:
- HTML code cannot exceed 3k
- 2 images maximum, total file size of images cannot exceed 20k
In Flash, I've used these extensions to publish and am finding it's difficult to meet the required specs by the ad hosts:
1. CreateJS (creates a small html file (3k or less), but requires to be linked to js files which are double what my swf would be)
2. Swiffy (puts out just one nice simple html file, but it's almost triple the size of my swf, coming in at 86kb)
I've also used:
Edge Animate (creates a html file, but also links to js files that are over double what my swf would be).
Either my animations have to become way less complex or I'm missing something in this new world of html animated ads. It seems there's little findable information on how to make html banners at the agency-level.
Can anyone educate me or point me in the right direction?

The easy answer is those libraries are full of functionality "you might use". Those libraries are not built like libs such as Modernizr where you can select the exact functionality you need to reduce the library size.
You're left with two options from there, neither are really ideal.
1) You can hand code the JavaScript you require. Libraries help by providing extensive functionality beyond your absolute needs as well as cross-platform tweaks so your results are expectedly similar in all browsers. By writing your own code (plus required tweaks) you can drastically reduce the JavaScript size (amongst minification and gzip). That puts all the hard work on you which may not even be possible or feasible in your projects timeline.
2) You can rely on newer HTML5 elements like Canvas, CSS3 and code from option #1. There are many effects in your example (directional blur, rotation, etc) that aren't easy to pull off but with the help of something like Canvas you can at least reduce the amount of JavaScript required. Think of it like a BitmapData object you can update at high speed that's mobile friendly. That aside, not all desktops users are guaranteed to support it and here comes the fallback bloated code.
Your ads compatibility requirements will guide you on either path. I'd probably opt to look forward with basic fallback (to a static image) and go route #2 with Canvas. If so, here's one of many tutorials/blogs that can get you started:

Is there a simpler solution/directory/file structure for banner ads?

I also have to wonder what a pain this has to be for a large website with many rotating banner ads - having all of these same files copied over and over in separate subdirectories. Flash had 2 files - a html file and swf file stored in the same directory. Am I missing something?
the banner name - with config.xml - created by Dreamweaver
Assets - 4 or 5 files, not counting json or sound files
edge_includes - and its 2 files
images - at least they are unique
And I, maybe wrongly, create a html file in Dreamweaver with the oam file inserted in it.

From the Edge Animate JavaScript 2.0 API Docs:
CDN Hosting
Using the Adobe Content Distribution Network (CDN) is a great way to speed up Animate composition delivery. Compositions using the Adobe CDN all share a single URL for jQuery and the Edge Runtime. The browser caches the runtime, so the user only downloads the library once no matter how may Animate compositions they view, even if compositions are on different sites and produced by different authors.
Don't use the CDN if your composition needs to run without an Internet connection or if you want to use your own hosting exclusively.
The Edge Runtime CDN uses the following URL:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/edge/animate/2.0.0/edge.2.0.0.min.js"></script>
So now I know what that CDN option is about.

Why do my banner ads look so crappy? (Illustrator)

I've tried creating banner ads in Illustrator. They look great! But when I save them for web, they look awful. I've tried to create these ads several way. For example, let's say I'm making a 300x250 ad. Here are the ways I've done so: 1, make the document size 300x250 (actual size), then I place BG and foreground graphics. 2, I make the document twice the size it will end up as (600x500) -- In this case I'm expecting the larger file will hold up better when I save it for web. (Options - save both as .jpg and .gif - doesn't make any difference. What type of graphic should I start with? (tiff, jpg, .png or other?) I have a tiff photo that I've saved as a jpg and it doesn't make any difference which one I use in the ad.
In all these cases both graphics and text look bad. I've tried all of this in Photoshop as well as InDesign.
BTW: I'm using Adobe cs4.

Thanks for your feedback Mylenium. I realize I am a novice at this so pardon me if I ask for some clarification to your response. Although I "simply do not understand the limitations of web design," I'm hoping to overcome that shortcoming. Most of what you say I have come across in my research of the subject. But what they leave out is the "how". Here are some questions I still have:
AI is not the correct tool for this. I assume you mean Photoshop. Someone told me to use InDesign but I found it is not useful in this situation (no way to output for web - at least not in CS4).
I do understand the 72 dpi requirements but I'm not sure about "aligning stuff to the pixel grid." When does that happen? - when preparing a specific graphic for inclusion in the banner? or when optimizing the finished banner for use on the web?
Keep in mind, I am not using too many "fancies". The ad consists of two graphics (a (stock) photo background and a scan of a book cover) plus about 5 lines of text. There's no animation just a static banner ad.
When I'm preparing a graphic for the ad, should the graphic be reduced to the size of the ad? For example, If the banner is to be 300x250 should the background image be reduced to that size BEFORE placing it in the ad or can I place a graphic THEN reduce it as needed? I understand that if compress an image before placing it, I will be compressing it again when I optimize the ad for the web. .
Re: reducing color palette - When do I do this? - when preparing an individual image for inclusion in the ad? - or when outputting the completed ad for web use?
I am probably asking too many questions and should probably take a course in this, but I really appreciate the feedback you've already given and hope you can possibly answer a few more questions listed above.
Thanks,
Mike

Self served banner ads in air app

I dont want to serve ads for ad companies but i want to serve ads for myself to my app. So i am trying to setup a way to add banner ads to my app and have them just served from my web server. I keep running into road blocks in doing so.
i am using is flash builder 4
the closest i have gotten is i had an old as2 xml banner rotator and tried to just embed them locally and have the xml file and images remotely loading. The flash files loaded up right but it seems the xml file from inside the flash rotator wont load from my site once in the air app. they work flawlessly when not in the air app.
Is there a simple way to do this so i can have an xml file and some images on a remote server and the banners rotate in the app? I have searched google for hours and haven't found anything close to this. a code example would be really appreciated if applicable i am pretty new to this.

RTMP should work on AIR for TV. This is a known issue and we are working with Samsung to fix this. They should be releasing an update to there products which fixes this issue. (Sorry I can't give a timeline, you will need to talk with Samsung about when they will update there TVs and Blu-ray devices).

Page peeling off banner ads

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has come across banner ads such as
these? Please click on the example below.
http://adinterax.com/partners/centro/nacholibre/tearsheets/dailynews-cp.html
I'm so lost on how to do this. Does this involve action
script 3? Does this involve a total of 3 Flash files? Does anyone
know of any good tutorials on the web for how to do this or could
anyone recommend any good books on the subject? Please advise. How
does the shadow on the corner peeling appear transparent over the
html?
Thank you.

This would only require one flash file. It is an SWF that
sits on the upper right edge of the website, in an absolutely
positioned <div> that overlays that part of the site (flash
movies can be made to be transparent by using the
wmode="transparent" parameter). So, you'll need to get familiar
with both Flash and CSS, in addition to html.
All of the effects can be animation... the dropshadow is
simply a movieclip or graphic element that has partial alpha (is
halfway transparent). If you use Wmode=transparent in your
<object> and <embed> parameters, within the HTML that
causes the SWF to display on the web page, your entire SWF can have
transparency in any area you wish.
There are really a lot of ways to do the page effect. This
one just looks like simple tweened animation, not hardcoded via
Actionscript. Though it does involve a lot of interaction (rollover
on the main movieclip to have the page "pulse" when the mouse is
over it, and then to animate "closed" when the user clicks the
close button). Might be difficult for a beginner. I can't think of
any tutorials that show exactly how to do THIS particular effect,
but try flashkit.com and other flash tutorial sites, some have
examples of "page turn" effects that aren't exactly the same, but
might steer you in the right direction.

Banner ads (how to get rid of them???)

im annoyed personally by the fact so many sites have these
banner ads, and adobe or flash player makes no consessions for a
person to block out the unwanted frames off the screen. to me this
not only waists memory its stuff i really prefer not to be on my
computer in any shape or form. it seems you find a way to block the
silly things then they find some way around it and you cant block
them anymore. i think their needs to be a feature in brousers that
gives the opperator the right to veiw or not to view banner ads.
something i call useless internet clutter.

IPhone 5 Virus Advertisement bottom banner PLEASE HELP!

So my girlfriend just had the weirdest thing happen to her. She shows me her iPhone 5 just after we update to 7.1.2, and there's a disgusting unauthorized advertisement banner covering the bottom of her screen.
Not a single article about someone having this issue on the entire internet. Does anyone have the slightest clue what's causing this. And please don't just tell me to restore the phone, I'm sure that will fix it, but I'd like to learn more about where this would be coming from.

The above picture is what I'm seeing. The ad banner changes between different ads so it's definitely not a wallpaper.
I'm also pretty tired of hearing the ignorant "apple devices can't get viruses" argument. It is not jail broken, stop having prejudice against me just because you think the only way this could happen is if I jail broke. Clearly it's not, and apple devices can 100% get viruses or malware. Sure it's less likely, but don't base your statements off what you're spoonfed by other uneducated apple users. Learn how computers work, I highly doubt you're an expert on mobile operating systems. Apple devices can get viruses (deal with it) it's just not very likely. The security is good I'll admit, but between the mix of there being little incentive to develop a virus for apple devices, due to the business model of a majority of companies using windows solutions, and the difficulty to do so, you don't see them pop up very often. Leave the apple jerking ignorant apple can't get viruses out of this thread. You are of no help to me.
for the last time. The phone is not, jailbroken. Thanks

Multiple Flash banner ads

I've already created one banner ad in Flash and have it displaying on one of my web pages. I'm creating a second ad and would like to have it display in the same area as the first one with each ad playing once and then switching to the next. I will eventually have three ads rotating, one after the other. I'm working with Flash CS4 and am pretty new at this.
What's the best method with a Windows server? Do I use Actionscript...Java Script? Do I simply combine the ads into a larger Flash file and, if os, might this cause overly long download times for the browser?

you will need to find a player system that will rotate out the ads. I dont recall the name(s) of them currently but there are plugins for your code that will allow you to do so.
try searching for flash ad banner rotaters.

General info about web banner ads

Hi, I regularly work in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign & After Effects but now need to learn how to produce animated online ads for Web Banners etc. As far as I understand Flash is the good choice of programme for this. I have been told that iPads don't play web banner .swf files and require a different format for their banners, can anyone advise on what this is and can these be produced in Flash? Apologies for the extremely open question, I just need a steer in the right direction. Thanks, Andy

Most basic animations (which are most banners) can be performed solely with some JavaScript, and more advanced banners can utilize HTML5's canvas for effects. These will be visible on mobile as well as any decently modern desktop browser (last ~4 years) and this can be created to some extent with Flash Pro CS6.
What type of animation are you looking for? Please be as descriptive as possible on what you'd like to see happen. Then a solid suggestion on how to approach it can be made.

Web Banner Crop Help

Hi there,
I have been asked to take some photos for a company's web banner. The dimensions are 1024 x 300 px.
I have taken the image and used PS to crop it into the right size, but after saving the image, it displays the size as 900 x 264 px. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to get around this?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your reply.
I really don't understand. I open the jpeg in photoshop. Go to crop and under size & resolution put in 1024 x 300 px. Once happy with the crop, I save the document as a Jpeg. I don't decrease the quality - it stays on maximum. But sure enough when I check the properties of the newly saved image, it displays as900 x 264 px.

Banner Ads on Ecommerce Website

Does anyone know how to have top slot appear on the home page only?
Thanks,
Anthony

It's because your blocking the Skype home page URL (thus effectivly blocking the ads). You can get rid of it by doing the following:
0) Quit Skype
1) open the Run cmd (WinLogo+R) and entering "%appdata%\Skype\yourSkypeUser\config.xml"
2) search for "<AdvertPlaceholder>1</AdvertPlaceholder>" towards the bottom and change the 1 to a 0 ; save the file.
3) launch Skype again. Should be gone

Banner/Button Ad Problem...Please Help...Going NUTS!

Hi I was wondering if I could get some help here...I work at
a company who's headquarters have an extremely old, outdated banner
rotator system. We recently added designing Flash button and banner
ads into our lineup of advertising strategies. After sending a few
files to headquarters, we were notified that the URL to the
advertiser's site needs to be embedded within the Flash file. No
problem, usually...I started out by making a transparent button
with only the "hit" stage having a keyframe (the others being
blank). This layer masks the entire ad so at any given time, a user
can click through to the desired site. I defined the URL using
on (release) {
getURL("
http://www.yourwebsite.com","_blank");
worked without a problem and clicked through to the site when
testing in Flash Player. I later got word from headquarters that
the click-thru wasn't working - no pointer icon upon rollover or
anything. After previous experiences like this with some other
banner rotator companies, I figured maybe they weren't compatible
with actionscript 3 yet so I exported the file using actionscript 2
compatibility and on that round, they said they got the pointer
icon upon rollover, but the click-thru still wasn't working. One of
their techs received the native flash file via email from me and
said the only thing that was wrong was that the button layer was on
the bottom layer and should have been on the top. After a new file
was sent with that adjustment (and nothing else!), they STILL said
it wasn't working!Meanwhile, I created these fully functional
buttons within a blank flash file, 1 layer, with just the button in
the library in hopes I could use it as a type of template file,
where I could complete the Flash ad and simply drag that button
into my library, posting it as a layer at the top. It seems like it
works standalone just fine, but every time I try to merge it into
the library on an already existing Flash file, I get the pointer
icon but a compiler message saying 1087: Syntax error: extra
characters found after end of program. Seems the only way this is
working so far is to re-create the existing Flash files. Does
anyone have any advice as to how I can get this working? I do have
the native flash files I can email if need be. We're all thinking
that there's just nobody at the banner rotator company that can
properly tell us how they need their files. Keep in mind that the
trouble doesn't start until they are uploaded into their
rotator...flash player and the swf on a blank html page uploaded to
my server both work without a problem. I almost dropped dead when
they told me this afternoon that they are currently utilizing Flash
2004 and can't work with anything else. HELP!

The code that you're showing should work just fine. Just
publish the file as Flash player 6 or 7, it should work.
