TUTORIAL:
Getting ready to create your Ad.

When you create your Animation, you'll be changing the text and importing your own graphics (if you wish)! The Flash Ad Creator can import .Bmp, Jpeg, Gif, Png and Tif files.

Its a good idea to gather your images from your hard drive and place them into a folder before launching The Flash Ad Creator. This will make it easier to find the images you need for your particular Ad.

Copy and paste the code below into your own HTML layout program. Place the code below between the <body> tags of your page.

Make sure you change the items in RED to your own file names. Change the WIDTH and HEIGHT of tags to match the width and height of your ad.

You will also find this exact code after creating your Flash Ad. (an HTML page is created with the Ad that contains proper HTML code).

TUTORIAL:
The ASSETS folder

When creating a Flash Ad - the Ad is created with an "Assets" folder. This folder contains any graphics and text that you've altered in the Flash Ad while creating it. The images and text are not integrated into the actual .SWF file!

After creating your web page and inserting the .swf file into it - The next step is to upload the page to your server.

IMPORTANT: The Flash animation (.swf file) and ASSETS folder should be placed at the same level as your HTML page. If it's not, the flash animation won't know where to grab your text and images and will revert back to its default images and text.

Example:

Here's what the Ad will look like:

 

If you don't upload the 'Assets' folder, your add may look like this:
