Determine the size of your ad space and set the Stage dimensions of your Flash project file to the matching specifications of your ad. Most online ads fall within the 100-200-pixel range, but this will vary dramatically based on the site where your ad will be placed. Go to 'Modify' and 'Document' and set your project dimensions. Flash also provides templates with multiple sizes often used for ads and can be implemented by selecting the 'Template' option when the 'New File' dialogue window appears.
Add any text or external graphics to your ad, such as a logo or tag line for your business. To use a logo or graphic created outside of Flash, import the file to your Library and drag the graphic onto your Stage in the appropriate location. Go to 'File' and 'Import to Library' and choose your graphic from the dialogue boxes.
Place your video file on your Internet server by uploading the Flash video file to your server using an FTP connection, or File Transfer Protocol. Make note of the exact location of the file to place in Flash during the import video stage.
Import your video onto the Stage to build the core element of your ad. Go to 'File' and 'Import to Stage' and follow the dialogue windows as they locate your video file from your server's URL address and import the movie into Flash. Be sure your movie is in the Flash video format of FLV before embedding the file into the project.
Select the 'skin' for your Flash player from the dialogue window for importing your video. The type of skin you choose will be based on how you want people to interact with your ad. If you would like them to have to play the video on the ad, be sure to choose a skin with a play button. Most online video ads have no controls, so select the no-skin setting to achieve this effect.
Save your project file as an FLA for your archive and future editing. The FLA will not be placed online but will be needed to make any edits or adjustments.
Go to 'File' and 'Publish Settings' and deselect the HTML option. Be sure the Flash option is selected and publish the file. This action will produce the SWF necessary to post your video ad online. Once the SWF is created, it will function as a graphic file and can be added to your website or blog just as you would add a digital image or graphic.

Click the blue Apple logo in the top left corner and select 'System Preferences.'
Select 'Sharing' in the 'Internet & Network' section of the 'System Preferences' window.
Check 'FTP Access' in the list of services. Your Home directory is the one that people will see when they connect to your FTP.
How to Set Up FTP Access Outside Your Home Network
Locate your external IP address and take note of it. You can find this by going to whatismyip.com on the Mac set up as an FTP server.
Locate your Mac's internal IP address and write it down. Go to 'System Preferences' > 'Sharing' and select (don't uncheck the check box) 'FTP Access.' The IP address will display below the Services box.
Map port 21 on your router to the internal IP address of your Mac. Most routers have a web-based admin screen that you can use to map the ports. Refer to your router's documentation.
How to Connect to Your FTP Server From Another Mac
Open the Finder.
Click 'Go' and select 'Connect to Server.'
Type in the external IP address you found in the previous section and click 'Connect.'
Enter in your user name and password. If you don't want to give out your Mac's (the one you set up as an FTP Server) user name and password, create a new account for FTP users by going to 'System Preferences' > 'Accounts.'
How to Connect to Your FTP Server From a Windows PC
Create a new Account for Windows users on the Mac Computer you've created the FTP server by going to 'System Preferences' > 'Accounts.'
Open Windows Explorer and type in the External IP address for your Mac's FTP server that you found using whatismyip.com. Hit the 'Return' key.
Click 'OK' on the error message that pops up.
Select 'FIle' > 'Login As...' in the menu of the Windows Explorer window.
Type in the username and password you set up in Step 1 of this section.
Click the 'Log On' button, and you should now see the folders and files of the FTP server.
