Summary

Congratulations for completing your first step of creating a banner in Flash. You used the Flash authoring tool to create a new document, add assets, and manipulate the file using a variety of tools.

In a very short period of time, you learned how to use the Flash workspace to accomplish the following tasks:

• Set up a FLA file.

• Imported assets into the FLA file.

• Arrange assets in a FLA file.

• Create and modify layers.

• Test a SWF file.

You're on your way to creating a banner in Flash so you can embed it in an HTML page using Dreamweaver. In the next two parts of this tutorial, you will create and modify symbols, create an animation, add some simple ActionScript for a button that opens a web page, and add the banner to a website.

To continue building this application, go to the next part of this tutorial: "Basic Tasks: Creating a banner, Part 2".
