Creating a Flash Banner

Hi All
I have just been asked to create a very simple Flash Banner -
468 x 60 px which I understand is a standard size for a flash
banner.
To be included on the banner are a couple of small images and
also 3 or 4 lines of the text and a link to a website.
Not being a Flash Guru I am struggling to complete this
banner so I am wondering if there might ba a Flash Guru who could
be interested in assisting.
Its 7am in Sydney and I have to have it completed by 11am
Sydney time.
Thanks in advance for any assistance that can be given.

your guru is Jen deHaan:

What is the best way to create a flash banner that features video?

Hi I have created a html5 video banner but I also need to create a flash banner that will host a video in it
I have created the flash banner but not sure where to start in order to add video to it. I understand the best way is to host the video file on a server but how do I get that video to play within the banner?
Thanks

You can incorporate an FLVPlayback component that automatically loads the desired video. You could also make use of the NetStream class instead of having the component. Google either one to get information on using them.

Help with creating a flash banner

Hi,
I need some help with a creating/replicating a flash banner I
saw online. I cant find it anymore but I will do my best to
describe it.
The banner had multiple images layered on top of each other
horizontally. Each image covered the image to the left of it. When
you moused over an image the image expanded to full size while the
other remained contracted.
How can I create something with the above description? Are
there any good tutorials for something like this or maybe someone
can provide me with a few tips/tricks for doing this?
I am proficient in PShop and a beginner with Flash so the
design portion is not the hard part, just the programming/setup in
flash is what has me stumped.
Thanks in advance for any assitance.

Update:
The banner on this template has an exact example of what I am
shooting for.

Problem with a flash banner in a php includes

I am creating a site that has many pages and I made an includes file for the header of the page that contains my navigation bar, i then made a template of the page to use for all my pages.
Now I have created a flash banner that i want to play in the header of all my pages but i´m having problems getting it to show on all the pages.
Firstly I added the flash swf into my includes file and inserted the flash into the includes file page using insert flash from the dreamweaver menu (code below):
<?php $currentPage=basename ($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);?>
<script src="../Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<div id ="adBanner">
<script type="text/javascript">

</script><noscript><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="468" height="60" title="advertise">
    <param name="movie" value="advertise_banner.swf" />
    <param name="quality" value="high" />

</object></noscript>
</div>
<div id ="NavBar">
    <p> </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p><a href="index.php" <?php if ($currentPage == 'index.php') {echo 'id="here"';}?>>Home</a></p>
    <p><a href="about.php" <?php if ($currentPage == 'about.php') {echo 'id="here"';}?>>About Us</a></p>
<p><a href="contact.php" <?php if ($currentPage == 'contact.php') {echo 'id="here"';}?>>Contact Us</a></p>
<p><a href="advertise.php?ad=y" <?php if ($currentPage == 'advertise.php') {echo 'id="here"';}?>>Advertise</a></p>
<p> </p>
    </div>
Great the flash ad works when I load the includes page in a browser and when i look at all my other pages that have the link to the includes file the flash file shows as a grey box with F in the center, however if i load any of these pages into a browser the flash ad does not show.
I also tried doing exactly the same, adding the flash to the header of my template and saving it. However this did not update all of the pages that use the template, the flash ad would play in the browser if I load the template in the browser. (in this instance the actual swf file was in my templates folder with the template page).
The final thing i tried was just to add the flash to one of my pages just to see if it would work when i loaded the page into a browers, it didn´t and i don´t understand why as it worked on the includes page and template page. (the swf file in this case was in the file along with all the pages of my site).
It doesn´t seem that i have a problem with the actual flash banner, i just cannot seem to put it in the pages that i want to.
Any help or input in this matter will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

I don't know if this will be of any help but I have a flash rotator that I use on a few pages setup in a seperate file as well, here is the code from my include file
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="884" height="402" id="myFlashContent">
    <param name="movie" value="/Image-Rotator-V2.swf" />

     </a>
    
    </object>
    
</object>
I also added the following to the head section of the page the flash is used on.
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/swfobject/2.2/swfobject.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

.mov to flash banner ad via media encoder, size issues

Looking for some compression feedback, as I cannot get the results dialed in thru Adobe Media Encoder CS4.
Creating a flash banner ad, 11 seconds total, with 5 seconds of video from final cut. The size of the exported .mov is 784 KB, and I still have to hit a target of less than 60KB (yikes) on the final FLV export for the ad specs. Anyone had any luck here in these type of productions? When I convert to FLV (heavily compressed) and import into timeline of flash as embedded file, keeps increasing in size, hovering just below the 1MB mark. Without the video, the flash ad is at 20KB, so I really only have 40KB to work with.
When I open the FCP .MOV in Quicktime Pro and "export for web," I see a small file size of 4KB, could it really be that compressed?
But when I bring that 4KB file into Media Encoder, it goes over the 60KB limit.
Also, should note that final ad needs to be Flash 7 friendly...
Your input is appreciated.

Predicated on info in the other THREAD, I will now ammend my previous post:
2.) Assets - that's why I asked
3.) Project - could still be a possibility
Looks like the Bug is still in the running and gaining fast.
Have you filed a Bug Report/Feature Request with the data that you've furnished in your two thread?
Good luck,

Problems zooming out with a Flash Banner

I have created a Flash banner for the home page of my website. Here is the link to the page I am working on: http://adirondackvic.org/CSSTest9July2012-2.html
When I zoom in to increase the size of the web page, the Flash banner rescales automatically. However, when I zoom out, to decrease the size of the web page, the Flash banner does not automatically rescale. It remains the same size and you have to hit the refresh button to get it to rescale to fit the newly resized page.
Is there a fix for this? I searched the forum and the web and have not found an answer. I put a question on this in another forum, but received no responses. I found some discussions of the issue on the web and on this forum, but I was not able to figure out how to incorporate the suggestions into my page. I tried changing the scale from exactfit to showall, as recommended, but that created a problem with the appearance of the page. (The banner no longer fit properly into the header window.) I also tried (as recommended by one of the entries in this forum) to change width="100%" height="100%" or width="100%" height="auto". This fixed the problem for Internet Explorer, but then the entire banner disappeared in Firefox.
Please help! I am at my wit's end.... Thank you. ellen

Flash banner not displaying correctly

I am definitly a newbie to flash. Actually just gave the free download a try on this project. The trial ran out and that might be part of the reason why I can't figure out this problem.
I created a flash banner for a website, I have it embedded and it shows up, but it has cropped part of the scene, so the whole background image isn't showing. I have tried resizing in my html, but it doesn't seem to affect the cropping issue. You can view the site here.
Any help would be appreciated!
Margaret

If you cannot edit the file due to the trial period ending, I don't know what you can do except to purchase the software, but that will be unrelated to the banner not displaying what you expect.
I attempted to look at the page you linked, but the page is not loading, at least not quickly enough for me to feel comfortable waiting for it, so I passed on that.
A Flash file will display in its entirety regardlkess of what dimensions you specify in teh html code for it, it will just distort to fill the area defined for it. So the file is most liikely displaying correctly. What your problem might be is you might have placed an image in the banner without realizing that the stage defines the viewable dimensions you are limited to, so you may need to either adjust the size of the image to fit the stage, or adjust the stage size to suit the image.
It could be due to other reasons, but there isn't enough information about the design to determine as such.

Space issue in Firefox related to Flash banner

I have a website with validated XHTML and CSS that displays an unwanted space only in Firefox under a Flash banner. The site has been tested in IE6/7/8, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera, AOL, and Netscape. Firefox is the only problem. After posting this issue to Experts Exchange, it was determined that the code Dreamweaver generates to insert Flash causes the problem. An expert on that site originally thought there were two instances of the object and removed what handles IE. The site then displayed correctly in all other browsers, but would continuously try to load the Flash file in IE. Obviously, that is not the resolution. I have tried inserting various IECCs without finding the right combination. -- The live site is http://www.imfgsol.com. The test page that contains code suggested by Experts Exchange is http://www.imfgsol.com/default2.html -- I would great appreciate any help resolving this issue!! Thanks!

Thanks so much for your help! Adding the param, removing the IECCs, and correcting the tag closing resolved the issue. The http://www.imfgsol.com/default2.html page now loads in IE 6/7/8 and validates.
For anyone that might have this issue, following was the problem and resolution:
When inserting a Flash banner using Dreamweaver, the following code was created:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="963" height="113" class="imgpad" vspace="0" id="FlashID" title="Innovative Manufacturing Solutions">
      <param name="movie" value="images/IMSbanner.swf" />
      <param name="quality" value="high" />
      <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
      <param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />
      
      <param name="expressinstall" value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
      
      
      <object data="images/IMSbanner.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="963" height="113" vspace="0">
        
        <param name="quality" value="high" />
        <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
        <param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />
        <param name="expressinstall" value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
        
        <div>
          <h4>Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.</h4>
          <p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" width="112" height="33" /></a></p>
          </div>
        
        </object>
      
    </object>
The display was fine in all browsers other than Firefox. In Firefox, an unwanted space was created due to the way it read the IE code. The space below the banner is illustrated here:
By removing the separate objects and IECCs and adding the param as suggested, there is no longer a space in Firefox and the display is correct in IE 6/7/8, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera, AOL, and Netscape. The code that works correctly is:
<object data="images/IMSbanner.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="963" height="113" vspace="0">
        <param name="movie" value="images/IMSbanner.swf" />
        <param value="high" name="quality" />
        <param value="opaque" name="wmode" />
        <param value="6.0.65.0" name="swfversion" />
        <param value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" name="expressinstall" />
        <img width="112" height="33" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" />
        
        <div>

How to create an image banner that slides left to right with mouseover?

I need to create a web banner like the one on the following site: www.gracelandbaptist.org. I have been unabe to find anything on how to create such a banner. I believe it was created in flash but am not sure. I want my banner to work in the same fashion so that as the mouse is moved from left to right the banner will slide appropriately. Its possible that some java script might also have been used with flash. If someone could point me in the right direction I would be most grateful. Thank you.
dejawhoo

It is a Flash design and is unlikely javascript is involved with the interaction. There are probably a couple of ways to approach such a design, but if you have no experience with Flash, you will probably struggle to create it. The basics involve place the different images in a movieclip and controlling the horizontal position of that movieclip based on mouse interaction/position. THe position controls are based on what values are needed to have a particular section of the movieclip occupy the main section of the viewing area. Actionscript Tweens are probably employed to manage the position transitions.

How to get flash banner to play back on iphone

Hello,
I have website (basic) that i created with a flash rotating banner. Banner works fine on all computers but won't play on iphone. I'm aware that there are limitations at this point with flash and iphones. How are webdesigners creating rotating banners and the like that play on iphones? Can this be done in flash cs3? thanks, Owen

Well you are on your way to success then, GOOD JOB!!
Here's the simple, easy way to get this going:
Download swfobject ver 1.5 here (my site):
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/swfobject.js
Let's just put all your Flash files in the the same folder to simplifly things during testing... later you can move them to any folder you want, just remember that the paths to those files then need to be changed to be relative to the Web page that your .swf file is on, not the physical location of the actual file.
Practice in a brand new html Web page......copy and paste this into the code view, or copy and paste into NotePad and save as file type .html
Be sure to put the swfobject file, the Flash .swf file, the .mov file and this html file all in the same folder during testing.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

   <script type="text/javascript">

   </div>

</html>
Edit to match your .swf and .mov file names and change dimensions to suit.
I've purposely "turned off" swfobject by giving it an in-correct file name "swfobject_off.js"... so initially it will NOT work..result is you will see your "alternate content", the .mov.
Once you can confirm that your alt content is working, edit the swfobject file name to "swfobject.js", removing the _off part.
Now your browser will find that file.. swfobject will try detect the Flash plugin, if it finds it, it will
so.write("flash");
rewrite the div id=flash with the Flash content and violla... you'll have your Flash banner and iPhone users will have theirs!
The best of both worlds!
Best of luck!

Creat effect for banner?

Hi
I hope to create a banner ad but the effect that I am after I
do not know what it is called or how to produce it.
In this 50 cents video at the beginning,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psf7W-RjJhI
, you see text letters made out of lights.
Can this effect be created in Flash? What is the name of the
effect? How do I go about making it?
Many Thanks
B

It can be made in Flash but it won't necessarily be easy.
Make a single symbol that's a circle with a glow around it and
construct your letters from that. Once each letter is made, save
that as a symbol then once all your letters are made (hopefully you
can reuse some) then construct your word. Then once your word(s)
is/are made, tween it/them across the screen.
You might be able to emply a 3D engine like Papervision 3D to
get the angle/perspective.

Flash Banner Ad

Hi All,
I am facing a weired problem in my webpage.
I am having a html page, which embeds the windows media
player object and one banner ad. This banner ad i am getting from
another vendor.
In my page i have to call this ad like the below code.
<script language="JavaScript" src="
http://mythridpartyvendorsite.com?...">
</script>
and I have a media player that code in html as follows.
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
document.write ("<OBJECT id='videoFrame_Player'
classid='CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6' height='300px'
width='400px' type='application/x-mplayer2' viewastext>")
document.write ("<para name='url' value
='http:myurl.com'>)
..............................other parameter etc
</script>
When the expandable banner ad runs in this page. When I
mouseover on the "AD" that will expand. when I click the close
button of the "AD" it stops my windows media player.
I am not sure why its happening and how its happening.
Because I flash banner ad comes from some vendor.
I did some research on this. I think when these ad trying to
communicate to the posted server, looks like its stops my media
player. Is this related to any security on flash?
If someone knows or comeacross this issue. please update me.
This is really helpful for my page.
Thanks.
