Create a flash banner

kai_uk · Mar 6, 2014

What can you use to create a flash banner? There are quite a few free online banner making sites but they are usually just a static picture banner rather than animated. Do you know any websites or freeware software that can do this?

There are quite a few actually. In fact, when you say Flash banner, are you open to the banner being created with standard HTML5/Javascript and CSS as well? I'm only asking because that is where banners are basically headed since Flash isn't supported on all devices these days, and there are a number of free options as well to design animated banners without Flash too.

For Flash, of course there is the official Adobe Flash application. However this is the most expensive route and has the highest learning curve. Some simpler options include:

- Swish. This is a more user friendly Flash animation tool created by some of the folks who originally developed Flash. It's been around for well over 10 years now.
- Sothink SWF Quicker. Similar to Swish, this has also been around for about the same amount of time.
- Koolmoves. Another Swish clone, though not as robust, it also supports non-Flash HTML5/Javascript/CSS animations as well.
- Google AdWords. They offer some free online tools within the AdWords interface to build your own ads based off of pre-made templates.
- Laughingbird Flash Ad Creator. This comes with a bunch of templates to get you started and an easy to use interface. One of the newer but more robust products. Not really ideal for people who want to create everything from scratch though.

On the non-Flash front, the offerings are much newer and have only been around for a few years:

- Google Web Designer. This recently was released this past summer. The title is somewhat misleading as it is more geared towards creating animated banner ads to run on it's AdWords network. It *could* be used to create traditional static web pages as well, but that's not what it's best designed for.
- Adobe Edge Animate. Adobe's official non-Flash animation tool. It too is a work in progress, and they are adding new functionality every few months. What isn't currently supported within the app directly can be handled with external javascript libraries.
- Hippo Animator / Sencha Animator / Nodefire HTML5 Animator. Three different programs by three different companies, but I grouped them all together because my description of them is essentially the same. These are competitors to Adobe Edge Animate. Some of them even offer a few more features than Adobe's product currently. However their costs, particularly Nodefire, make them difficult to recommend when compared to Adobe's offering.

Thanks for the info. I thought Google Web Designer was still in beta phase, good to know it can be downloaded now as a final release product. HTML5 is they way forward so ditching flash would be a good idea. It is too slow anyway and causes problems on some of th older browsers. As Steve Jobs says

"Perhaps Adobe should focus more on creating great HTML5 tools for the future, and less on criticizing Apple for leaving the past behind."

I didn't think of the adsense tools for creating banners, it looks simple to use for basic banners. I might try that one first so i don't need to install software just yet.

Now that the decision has been made, I would still suggest and recommend that you dont go with Flash. The big demerit of Flash is that it is not yet Adaptive. Which means, if you design something for the normal website and the website is being viewed on a handheld, flash will neither work nor would fit in (even if any of those handheld supported it).

The best way would be to use the Canvas Element of the HTML 5 and also use the Animations of the new CSS3. Yes, older browsers will not support those codes but still, you have a better viewing audience as many of today's visitors have newer browsers.

One other tool I forgot to mention is Google AdWords. They have tools within the AdWords interface to help you create image ads (in Flash format last time I played with it, but they likely support HTML5 ads now too). They come with a bunch of pre-made templates, and you simply customize the ad copy and images in each of them to your liking. The other good thing about these is that you don't need to worry about any specs, you know these already meet Google's requirements.

Try using site like BannerSnack.com. Though you could download on the GIF format in the free version, you can go pro at $12/month. But if you're looking to create the banner for online advertising (particluarlyy in Google), then go for Google adwords display ad builder- it's really cool and easy to use and you can also create the supported versions instantly.

Hello. I can recommend that you turn to professionals in the creation of banners, and they will be able to bring your idea to life in a day. I know that now animated banners development https://getdevdone.com/html5-banners-development.html is doing quite well in this company, they also have a large number of employees, so they can quickly take up your work. And if you're pressed for time, you can bring in multiple developers to speed up your order.

I can assist you in creating the content for a flash banner, but I cannot generate the actual visual elements or provide interactive functionality. However, I can help you with the text and general design ideas. Here's an example of the content you might include in a flash banner:

Text:

Header: "Big Summer Sale!"
Subheading: "Up to 50% off on selected items"
Call to Action: "Shop Now!"
Design Ideas:

Use bright and eye-catching colors to grab attention.
Include attractive product images related to the sale.
Incorporate dynamic animations to add visual interest.
Make the text bold and easy to read.
Keep the banner concise and visually appealing.
Remember that Flash technology has become obsolete, and many modern web browsers no longer support it due to security concerns. Instead, you may want to consider using HTML5 or other alternatives to create interactive and visually appealing banners that are compatible with current web standards.
