Hi there
I really need some beginner help. I need to turn this file
http://www.thefightmusic.com/f/header3.swf
Into a 468*60 banner ad. Basically exactly as it is now but a banner ad.

Also, I need to add this syntax to the ad:

getURL (clicktag, "_blank");

Can anyone direct me where to start. I do have permission from the owners of
the orginal file to do this.

Thank you very much for the help.

While the movie header3.swf is playing in the browser resize the browser and
see how the browser scale it to any size you want. You can do the same with
_xscale and _yscale properties. If you got the FLA file you can set your stage
size to 486X60 and you set.

There is another way to do it even without changing anything in the FLA file.
Change the HTML file to this:

<html><body leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" scroll="no">
<embed width="468" height="60" fullscreen="no"
src="http://www.thefightmusic.com/f/header3.swf"></body></html>

This way you will get an idea how small it will looks if you change it to
468X60.
It can also saves you time.

I would go with changing the stage size to 468x60 since whatever site
you're sending the ad to might not accept the resizing via HTML method.
For the clickTAG button, follow the instructions from the MFAA.
