Question
How do you annimate a banner and text to come in from opposite sides or any kind of annimation in flash for a web page.

Answer
Hello Alison,

I'm not exactly sure of what you are asking. Before you can do any flash though, you would definitely have to have Adobe Flash or some other program that can generate flash files.  

To actually create in flash is not something that can really be explained in a text message, but I can point you to learning resources.  You can find plenty of sources simply by going to a search engine, like yahoo, and searching "flash tutorials" or "basic flash tutorials" or even get more specific in searches like "flash tutorial moving text." trust me, you will find plenty to get you started.

Here are a couple of sites that have tutorials:

http://flashkit.com/tutorials/

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
Andre
