How to make a banner in flash

In this tutorial you will be making a website banner, which is commonly used for advertising. And, it is super easy to make a banner in flash!
Here is what you will achieve:
You will get the banner to appear, and when the user clicks on the banner, it will take them to most likely a website link.
Start by drawing out a rectangle using the rectangle tool(this is how big your banner will be).
Using the text tool(static text), draw out a text box, and insert some text relating to the site, and possibly an image! For this banner it will be “Learn Flash 8 Professional”.
After you have added text to the banner, feel free to add anything else to make it more appealing. Convert the banner into a button, and name it button. Give the banner an instance name of banner_btn.
Now insert a new layer and name it Actions.
Right click on frame 1 of the actions layer and select actions. On the first line type in:

banner_btn.onRelease = function() {
getURL("http://www.learnflash8pro.blogspot.com/");
}

What this does is when the user releases the mouse on the banner it directs them to the website input in the actionscript panel. The only thing you would need to change would be the URL of the website(the URL is inside the brackets).

And that's how to make a banner in flash!
