Re: FLASH: Flash Banners

[Phil Ward]

Hi Brian,


I create most of my banners in Flash, because it's great at animation, I

then save as animated gif from Flash open up in Fireworks to optimise and

then save the final banner gif. Are you sure that the banner server will

allow two files for each banner, Flash and GIF?


But if you find a way to export Flash banner and have auto detection with an

animated gif for those without the plug-in, I would be very interested in

the solution.


Regards
