It all depends on what kind of banner you want...
Images floating in from the side etc... tutorials on motion tweening.
Person running... tutorials on character design.

There are 1000's of sites out there... don't just search for CS3, most flash
tutorials will do... if you want a hint go to kirupa.com or post back and I
will find one for you.

OK,
I see your point! :)
I guess that is part of my problem. I really don't know what i'm trying to do
or what it is called.
You see im doing an internship & the boss told me to do a flash banner 728 x
90 & gave me a few pictures to add to it & the company logo. So, that is all i
have to go on & i don't know flash? So, do you have any suggestions on what i
should look for & where to go to get help starting out?
I will look up the web site you suggested.
Thank you so much! You Rock!!

I understand your pain...I just posted a similar request earlier today for help
but finally figured it out on my own.  I've done lots of searching online and
used Adobe's Flash Classroom in a Book and also took an online ed2go class and
I still don't have a good handle on Flash.  Nothing seems to give clear step by
step directions on animating images for web banners.  You just have to do a lot
of trial and error.  These websites may help if you don't have time for the
classes:

I'm also a newcomer finding what I want to accomplish frustrating in nearly
every instance. But I have
found one source that you might try. It's http://www.learnflash.com/ and you
may put questions to
them in a chat box. I'm confident that your banner creation question is one
they've dealt with in
video tutorial material and may even have a free sample of, but their download
option, versus a CD in
the mail, makes much of their material very affordable and every subject area
has free demo videos
to allow you to judge their quality and suitability for your learning style. I
have no connection with them
beyond having bought several packages on disk and by download.

Thank you all for you help!
I just went out and bought another book on learning Flash CS3.
So, maybe between the book & the websites suggested I'll get it figred out.
I still think there is an 8 year old out there who could explane it in simple
set-by-step terms for us old folks!
