When you browse different websites on internet, you might find some websites have animated banner on their page. This animated banner is widely known as flash banner. It is a common phenomenon on the internet, now. Flash banners usually contain advertisement content, images, moving graphic or at least top featured news or product of the website. It usually short, wide and contain active images that loops frequently. So, are you thinking to have flash banners on your own website now?
If you want so, creating flash banner requires certain HTML code. If you are not a programming geek, do not need to worry because now we will help you to create flash banner on your own website. You can add Flash banners (*.swf) with one of these HTML codes. Just copy and paste the HTML code to your HTML file and you are done.
1. The only thing you need to do is to change the banner address (bold letters) into the banner address where you stored it on internet. We assume that you already have the banner saved on internet. If you want to change the size of banner, you can change the values in red letters.
HTML Code
<html>
<body>
<object classid=”clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000″
