easiest way to make a flash banner ?

[Rich_M]

hi there...

i want to make a flash banner to place on the top of my vbulletin forum..

i have a programme callled incrediflash xtreme 1.0 which i think does the job ?!..


normally when i do headers etc with just jpeg files i can put them in photobucket and they just appear after ive added the url in styles settings etc...

how do u put the animated banner on the top of the forum and what file type do they need to be ? i think when i used photobucket it transfered it into an flv file ?

altho the original was an avi ?


or does it all have to be html ? becuase if it does i think im b**gered ! lol


so any tips.. or any reccomended easy to use progs would be greatly receieved...




god im over my head...


thanks,

rich

Just make a .gif file, no need for flash.

even importing video ?

and text ?

any reccomendations on the programme to use for it ?

By the sonds of it your .gif would be huge. To embed flash you need to play with the html although vBulliten can do this for you.
