How do i animate a banner in flash that was made in photoshop?

[LimitLess]

Hi everyone. I was just curious about all these websites that i see on the web that have banners that were made in photshop and are animated quite well in flash. I was wondering how this is accomplished because i am trying to make a nice profffesional design for my site. So my question is if the layout was made entirely in photoshop, how is it exported and remade/animated in flash? parts of it like the banner, etc..

and also

wat about the layer styles and every little detail in the banner like if i wanted to added all that little vector art. like the little circles that u see rotating in banners and stuff like that. and how would u animate each layer differently and export it as an html page overall as u would in imageready?

It all depends on which version of PS you got...

If you have Photoshop v8 (CS) You just switch to Imageready and export a swf file from there....

If you're using an older version you need to export all the layers you want to animate in a seperate file and then import them manually into flash.

Remember that file formats that are rastered instead of vectorized (e.g. jpg, gif) do not particularly weld good in a flash anim. Blurriness is a common enemy of anyone who decides to put his jpgs in to flash.

Just a suggestion, if you could do the animation in ImageReady. You just do it there.
