How do you use one of these templates.  I downloaded them and then double

clicked on the adBanner 3 and all I saw was a black screen

Jeff,


Use the ad banner template when you publish the Flash movie.  You can

get this template (actually there are 2, one for Flash 4 and one for

Flash 3 or 4) from

http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/downloads.html (they don't come

standard with Flash 4).  


Once you've unzipped and installed the template in your macromedia\flash

4\html directory, you can use it for publishing.  On the HTML tag under

Publish settings, specify ad 34 banner or ad 4 banner, and on the

Formats tab, check gif.  Then publish the movie.  If the whole page is a

Flash movie, then just use the html that Flash gives you -- you'll see

when you look in it that it's doing what you want, substituting a gif

for the flash when the plugin or activex is not found.  If the movie is

in a table cell, then insert the code it produces (between <.script> and

<./noscript> into the table cell on your html page.


That should do it -- worked for me yesterday.


Regards,

Helen
