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.

TUTORIAL:
Exporting your Flash Ad

When you export your ad - The Flash Ad Creator creates 2 items:
• The actual Ad (a .swf file)
• An HTML page that contains the .swf file

folders


TUTORIAL:
Uploading your Flash Ad to your server

Directions for uploading your new Ad:

• Copy and paste the code below into your own HTML page.

If you don't have an FTP program to upload files with, check out:
Transmit by Panic Software for Mac users, or
CuteFTP by GlobalScape for Windows Users.

FTP software makes it easy to upload images to your web server. Just click and drag files from your desktop to your server!

Check out http://www.laughingbirdsoftware.com/WebGraphicsCreator/ for more tips and tricks!

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).
