Flash Help...

Okay.. Im not sure how to do this.. But I need to make a banner for my Wife's Ebay Auctions..

The one she has now is a little animated GiF that looks all booty...

here it is...



I dont like it..

I need to make it nicer.. Should I use a GiF animator or Flash?

Also...

Can anyone tell me how to make the "Sparkly" things for Jewelry and other shiny stuff.. like the ring in this pic..

Photoshop has brushes that make the sparkley things.

Set your photoshop background to black. Create a new layer and on this new layer - in white - use the "star" brush - or whatever it is - to create the shape. Give it a transparency (about 75%). Delete the background layer so the ONLY layer is the white star shape with a transparent background (you won't see the star much).

Save it for the web AS A GIF. It must be saved as a gif to come in transparent. Then, just import it into flash and set it up on the timeline and you're good to go.

This is how I would do it anyway.

Anything else?

Nope... that was perfect.. =P

Thanks a million Arch...

No problem
