How do I . . . .?

[Regal Boids]

I was just wondering how do I make a banner like adams and whoever else advertises on the top of the site with Macromedia Fireworks 8 and/or Macromedia Flash 8? How do you make htings move and fly into the picture and things?

It would be hard to explain that over the internet. It takes a little time and experience. I recommend buying a book on Flash 8.

So would I use flash or fireworks or both?

Flash, I would think. I don't know about anyone else, but to me, Fireworks (or Photoshop) is for graphic design, etc., and Flash is for animation.

The banners are not swf files(meaning they are not created using flash). You could use Photoshop to create your graphics and then use Adobe Image Ready or something similar to animate them.

Flash is easier and has more options, IMO, than ImageReady animation.

in Flash you can export it as a .gif

I am having a hard time with the letters. I got it to work, but its not really how I want it. I will try again tomorrow.

using raj's suggestion you can also save in .gif - which you have to in order to use animation. .jpg doesn't support animation.
