OK, so I'm in a bit of mess, bit off way more than I can chew
the problem; I created an animated banner in After Effects similar to the one on this page (which was probably made in Flash;-> http://www.myspace.com/uknowbigsean ). But I can't work Flash, nor am I a pro in A.E., but I do pretty good.
Anyway I don't know what type to export it out as. FLV? GIF? I don't want it to look low quality due to the status of the client. And once it's exported out to the correct format, which site to I upload it to in order to get the html code?
Please help! And thanks to those who do/try. biggrin.gif

The banner on the page is a normal .gif

Save it as SWF, upload it on Photobucket and embed it onto your page. Read this or this to find out how to embed things. If you want, you can save it in GIF format like Abbey mentioned. However the quality will severely lower.

I'll try what you said Mike, the .gif did severely lower the quality of my banner, and it took a really long time to load.
With the SWF will that decrease the loading time?
Mickey
It shouldn't.

Umm OK, so I've saved it as the flash file SWF, but when I replaced the jpg file with the SWF file for the banner no image showed up. Here's the code;
CODE

<style>
body{ background-position:top center;margin-top: 628 ;}
div.topbanner {
top: 0;
left: 49%;
margin-left: -437px;
width: auto;
height: 628px;
position: absolute;
}
</style>
<div class="topbanner"><img src="http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad341/bigmattlives/YG/YGtooBig.swf" /></div><br />

I don't know why it isn't working.
Mickey
An SWF file isn't an image. Therefore you don't use <img> tags to put one up.
