   Your thread title reminds me of "center for kids who can’t read good and who want to learn to do other stuff good, too" haha

   were you looking for animated gifs or flash? I’ve seen some guys do animated gif banners over here.

   I can do flash ones. They turn out better because when you convert to .GIF you get color limits and dithering and such, and lose a lot of quality. The downside of a flash banner is that MySpace doesn’t allow you to embed a flash object and make it a link, essentially meaning that people can view your banner but not click it to go back to your page. If that’s a big concern, then I would say stick with gifs. It’ll restrict your palette severely, but you’ll be allowed to link.

   please change the title so that the grammar is correct, it’s bugging the shit out of me.
   Isn’t there a PHP workaround for the flash thing?

   I don’t really know much PHP, honestly. For all I know there is. I’m sure Google’d know.

   oh i don’t know shit about code, i just have friends that do, and i think one of them mentioned there being a php workaround to use flash on myspace, thought that might allow the linkage.

   I don’t think you can embed any type of php into myspace..

   Also, I disagree with being TOO limited when doing gifs.

   One of my main clients (at the time) had me doing dozens of web banners a week and all we ever did was gifs. File sizes below 40kb. While it is somewhat limited to have size and file size predetermined, it teaches you to play around and try and come up with new cool ways to make something so simple look exciting.
