** How can I make a flash banner? **

Hi Pioneer,

My first question to you would be have you any experience at all with Flash and do you actually own Adobe Flash? If so, you should find it reasonably easy to Google a tutorial for that version as to how to create the actual banner.

If you don't have Flash that's fine, there's third party software available out there which it seems you have discovered. Some of those will require an advert placed within, while others won't (but you'll normally have to pay for those, or at least sign up for a free trial).

Obviously creating the banner from scratch within Flash provides the most flexibility for the design that you'd be looking for, however, if you've never used the software before it can take a while to master.

Perhaps for someone to offer a better answer you could provide some more details on what it is you're specifically looking for - a tutorial for creating a banner using Adobe Flash itself, or a tutorial for creating a banner using third party software that still gives you the ability to create something that's a bit different to the norm. Or just a link to a good piece of third party software.

I hope that helps a bit,
Bex

Adding to Bex,

If you are really passionate about flash, then you will need a lot of patience. And I mean A LOT of patience. You will need to know what is a frame, what is a keyframe, layers, buttons, objects, shapes, tweens, and when you have the basics, learn the ActionScript programming. Sounds scary doesnt it? You do have to know the truth because Flash is something that does take time to learn, but in the end, when you have mastered it, fused with creativity, you can make stunning looking products

If you do pick up flash, keep us updated. I would love to see your progress Will remind me of my old days too ^_^

Good Luck

All you have to do is do a search in Google for Flash tuition. But the tuition also depends on the program you are going to use. Some of the flash creating programs are expensive and also complex. The least complicated that I know of is "FireStarter" by Coffeecup. You can download a trial version to practice on.

Once you have a program, then you can do a more defined search for tuition.

just put your self in anything you want to learn. everyone should strive if you have a goal. you sound like you need more practice. get some more experience before revealing it to the world.

I haven't done this before, but why not use a free website like Free Flash Banner Creator, creating amazing flashbanner online I don't know if this is good or if there are better ones; but this certainly looks promising.

This thread is so old. Why did you reply to it?

If you haven't any experience about Flash, I think you should use freeflashlogos.com

i use banner designer pro, its not free costs about 50.00 but I think its worth it. It will work out great if your not a graphic designer, its pretty simple to use and understand.
