Step 1: Browse Photos for Your Flash Banner

You can import the photos which are pre-processed before by using some professional Image Processing Tool, say Photoshop, or just import the original photos then process them with the built-in editing tool, which include some basic functions like crop, rotate, filter, etc. Especially, you can add a hyperlink for each photo here. Below are my original photos.

Step 2: Customize your flash banner

Add Theme & Effect to Your Flash Banner

A wide range of transition and motion effects for you to make your slideshow more animated. You just need to drag the transition effects to the middle of the two images to set transition effects. While to set motion effects, drag the motion effects to the certain image.

Set Duration and Add Hyperlinks for Photos

After that, right click on one photo on the Story Board, or double click the photo and there will turn out a new window directly. Go the "Properties" tab to set "Picture Duration" as 2 sec, then check the option "Apply all settings to all pictures".Or select "Hyperlinks" item to edit your URL which you want viewers to enter.

Decorate Your Flash Slideshow Banner

"Decorate" your photo with texts. Click "New Text" to add texts, select font, size, color, text effect, etc. for your photos. Here I select Font "Happy", Size "22", Color "Gold", Effect "Fade".

Step 3: Publish Your Flash Slideshow Banner

Modify some "Publish Settings" to make the flash banner the best. Click "Publish Settings", first change the Slideshow Size as the same as your photos’ size then other settings like play control, preloader, you can just leave them if you don’t need to change. Here I select "Square" preloader in "Preloader" Tab and set a text hyperlink for my entire banner in "Hyperlink" Tab. After done these, click "Create SWF Movie" to publish your flash banner.

OK. Now let’s show the flash slideshow banner to the world. Add the flash banner ads on your website. It'll be the best eye-catching banner than ever before. Wanna create your own flash banner slideshow? Just do it with the best flash banner maker.
