In the following how-to, I'll create a MySpace flash slideshow banner for an outdoor sports organization to show their concept about "Sports Make Life Easier!" which may attract the amateurs to join in.
Step 1: Get the Flash Software
Download the Myspace flash maker, then install and run it.
Step 2: Browse
Import the pictures related to your business, and then process with the built-in editing tool if needed, which include some basic functions like crop, rotate, filter, etc. Especially, you can add a hyperlink for each picture here. Below are pictures about outdoor sports.Step 3:Template & Effect
Here I choose the Template “RedRight” and “Fade” transition effect. After that, right click on one photo on the Story Board to set the “Duration Setting”. Set “Picture Duration” as 2 sec and “Transition Duration” as 1 sec, then check the option “Apply all settings to all pictures”. See more flash photo gallery templates.
Step 4: Decorate
“Decorate” each picture 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 5: Publish
Modify some “Publish Settings” to make the flash banner the best and then click “Create SWF Movie”. A pop-up window will prompt you to save your created work.
Step 6: Upload SWF and get Flash URL
After the flash is created, just upload your album on your HTTP server, online or other free swf file hosting sites. Here takes Google site for example. After login Google site with your google account, Check the option "I agree to the terms", click the button "I am ready to create my pages" below, and login.
Click "Choose File" button at the bottom, then browse and select the SWF slideshow on your local hard disk, upload it. Now, the uploaded file will be listed in the "Attachments". Then you have to get the URL address of the SWF slideshow and note it. In Internet Explorer, you can simply click the file, open it with IE, and copy the link address in the address bar. If you are using Firefox, you may right click on the file, in the popup menu, click "Copy Link Location", and get the link address.
The link address should look similar to: http://sites.google.com/site/wondersharefamily/Home/index.swf
