In the following how-to, I'll create a flash banner for an outdoor sports organization to show their concept about "Sports Make Life Easier!" which may attract the outdoorsy to join in.
Step 1: Get the Flash Software Click here to download the sofware Flash Gallery Factory, then install and run it.

Import the pictures related to your business, and then process with the built-in editing tool if needed, which include some basic functions like crop, rotate, filter, etc. Especially, you can add a hyperlink for each picture here. Below are pictures about outdoor sports.
Step 3: 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”.
Step 4: Decorate
“Decorate” each picture 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”.
Step 5: Publish and upload
Upload the Flash SWF file to any web hosting, and get the URL address of the Flash SWF file. If you don't have a web host, you can upload your flash file to Google Sites for FREE. Learn more about uploading flash swf files
