4. “Browse”. Import your photos. You can import the photos which are pre-processed before by using some professional Image Processing Tool, say Photoshop, or just import the original photos then process them with the built-in editing tool, which include some basic functions like crop, rotate, filter, etc. Especially, you can add a hyperlink for each photo here. Below is my original photos.
   
5. Select “Theme” & “Effect”. Here I choose the default theme “RedRight” and “Fade” transition effect. After that, right click on one photo on the Story Board to set the “Duration Setting”. Set “Picture Duration” as 2 sec and “Transition Duration” as 1 sec, then check the option “Apply all settings to all pictures”.
   
6. “Decorate” your photo with texts. Click “New Text” to add texts, select font, size, color, text effect, etc. for your photos. Here I select Font “Happy”, Size “22”, Color “Gold”, Effect “Fade”.
   
7. “Publish”. Modify some “Publish Settings” to make the flash banner the best. Click “Publish Settings”, first change the Slideshow Size as the same as your photos’ size then other settings like play control, preloader, you can just leave them if you don’t need to change. Here I select “Square” preloader in “Preloader” Tab and set a text hyperlink for my entire banner in “Hyperlink” Tab. After done these, click “Create SWF Movie” to publish your flash banner.
   
8. Add the flash banner on your website. It’s the best eye-catching than ever before.
