For creating your flash banner you need to resize your flash movie to match one of the standard banner sizes (i.e. 468 x 60, 768 x 90  are some of the standard sizes used now). For resizing your flash movie, open the Optimize Movie window. This option is found on the top right corner of your Toufee flash movie editor. This opens the Optimize Your Movie window.
