Hi everyone!

I need help, once again:)

On my cheesy site, I want to add a flashing line of text that reads "NEW!" I've searched the net for flash banner makers, etc, and I did find one program, but it won't let me save it as an xml file, whatever that is:)

Can anyone help?

THAAAAAAAAANKS!

I downloaded the trial version & chose the "add an effect" and checked the box for "blink" but it's blinking waaaaaaay too fast. How do I change the speed?

And also, once I've finished creating my blinking text, how do I load it in VSD?

Thanks again!

I just noticed that I was using the movie function. So I tried the Bannerwizard but there is no option to have the text "blink". Right? Or am I totally lost once again? :)

You can use the movie function to create a banner. It gives you more control. The banner wizard is just simpler.

Lowell,

Thanks! Yeah I figured that the movie function was the way to go. I'll have to play around w/it some more;)

Bruzer,

Thanks - I'll have to watch that little video a couple of times! LOL! I'll just tinker around w/the software too.

Once I've made my blinking banner, how do I load it in VSD? Will I be able to get an html code or an xml file thing?

Thanks again!
