For this I animated a banner in Photoshop. To do this a series of steps were taken this involved creating new layers, creating classic tweens and many other steps, but I've managed to to create a simple step it goes keyframe-movement-classic tween, this is the overall process for a simple animation.

This was simply creating a button on Flash C6. To do this you go insert-new symbol, and while on this option select the button from movie clip, then you'll need to give your button a shape this is called a hit area for this I chose a circle. Now that circle needs a colour so I just left it white, but when hovered over, note this is labeled as "over" on top of the screen as well as "down" for when it is clicked, and "hit" for the area it covers. As I was saying when hovered over or "down it needs to change colour- for this I chose red. and when clicked (down) I chose green, and left it green for hit.

             Animating a Objects

Create a shape, but not after adjusting the size which is 728 by 90. then click the shape and enter the same coordinates that you did for the size only this will be for width and height .
Next is to modify and convert to symbol, then lock the layer, and create a new layer, this should say layer 2.
Move it to where you want it to go as long as its on stage then click on a number of frames you want do this for both layers.
Following that move your object to where you want it to go, after that control click, and create classic tween.

To do this I placed the image into Illustrator removing the background with the quick selection tool. Then saved it as a psd file so when you place it in Illustrator the background's gone, and it's as white as you see here.

 Then I rasterized it as you can see from the image on the right and changed the resolution to 20 instead of 300 which it is normally set to.

Rasterizing it pixelates on how much  depending on the resolution.
