GENERAL QUESTION: Why aren there more animation effects?

In order to do animation in GIF images every frame is a totally new photo and they’re all just strung together. Every frame means that the file size is significantly larger than it would be otherwise. It also means it’s one more frame for our servers to process to get you your banner. Flash banners are a much easier and more efficient way to do animation. While we might provide a flash-banner service in the future, we don’t have any plans for one at this time so we recommend you either grab a copy of Flash and design them yourself or find a good Flash designer for them.
