Step 3: Generate your banner code

To display your Flash banner on the web and and "link" it to the advertised web page, you need a special HTML code. If you have successfully uploaded your banner SWF file to your web server at the previous step, the SWF file now has its own URL (also known as "web address"). For example, if your domain name is "www.example.com", and you put the "demo_banner.swf" file into a directory called "images" on your web server, the SWF file URL will be: "http://www.example.com/images/demo_banner.swf". Use the SWF file URL in the form below to generate your banner HTML code.

Enter the URL of your SWF file:

Tip: if you are not sure about exact URL of your SWF file, please check with your hosting provider.

The clickthrough URL (also known as "banner link") is a web address of the page where people will "land" when they click on your Flash banner ad.
Enter your ad clickthrough URL:

Tip: Leave this field empty to use your banner as a "logo", ie without the mouseover "hand" cursor.

The following parameters are optional. Adjust them, if desired, and click the "Get banner code" button below.

Optional: resize the banner (Width x Height) x

Tip: to avoid graphics distortion, keep original proportion ("aspect ratio") between width and height. Recommended value pairs: 562x72, 608x78, 702x90, 750x96.

Optional: add a border around the banner

Border style: Border width: Border color:

Tips, tricks and questions • How to change the banner link?
The easiest option: just bookmark this very page in your web browser and use the banner code generator whenever you wish to update your banner link.
Experienced users can also change the banner link at any moment by manually editing the banner code. The banner link "value" is shown in bold red in the code example below. Replace both occurrences of this value with a new link ("clickthrough URL") for your ad. Do not forget that the clickthrough URL must begin with "http://"

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" 
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,5,0,175" 
width="468" height="60">

<param name=FlashVars value="clickTAG=http://www.example.com" />
<param name="menu" value="false" />

Ok • How to use this Flash movie as a web site logo?
You can display your Flash banner as a web site logo or a header image - that is, without the mouseover "hand" cursor. Just leave the "Enter your ad clickthrough URL:" field in the code generator form empty. Experienced users can deactivate banner link by manually removing the part of the code shown in bold red in the following example.

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"

Ok • How to resize my banner?
Default size of your Flash banner is 468x60 pixels (the Internet Advertising Bureau standard "full banner"). You can change - to some extent - the default width/height by editing the "width" and "height" values in the banner code (values are expressed in pixels). To avoid graphics distortion, we advise to keep original 468x60 aspect ratio between width and height. Recommended width x height value pairs: 562x72, 608x78, 702x90, 750x96 etc.

It means that your banner HTML code can't find the Flash SWF file to display. Make sure you have uploaded your banner SWF file along with the page(s) containing the banner HTML code. If the problem persists, contact us with exact web address of the page where you are using the banner HTML code.
Ok • I can't open the SWF file on my computer!
There is no need to "open" the SWF file on your computer. Just closely follow the instructions on your download page to put your banner on the web. After pasting the banner HTML code into a web page, open that page in your browser to view your Flash banner.
Ok
