Flash Banners

You either love them or hate them!

The example above was created on a free flash banner website and the code inserted into an HTML Snippet.

If you click this one it will take you to iWeb for Musicians.

Google “free flash banner” to find some.

If you own flash banner software, you can export your design as a .swf file and use the same code as used for the flash text below. 

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"

codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"

width="600" height="100"

id="Name">

<param name="movie" 

value="http://www.website.com/FolderName/FileName.swf" />

<param name="quality" value="high" />

<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />

<embed src="http://www.website.com/FolderName/FileName.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000"

width="600" height="100"

name="Name" align="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"

pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">

</embed>

</object>

Put your SWF files in a folder, upload it to your server and enter the path to the file in the code.

If you are publishing to MobileMe you should upload the SWF file and any player assets required to one of the media folders such as “Movies”. The URL will take the form:

http://homepage.mac.com/username/.Movie/MovieName.swf

Note the . before the folder name “movie”.

The text was created in Vertical Moon’s Text-Osterone and exported as a .swf.

The embed code is shown below and the variables highlighted in magenta.
