This is an AS3 version of the banner template I created a while back in AS2. The code has been placed in the accompanying banner.as file, with the exception of a little bit of code within the dynamically-centering button you'll see placed on the stage.

Just like the AS2 version, this is: An empty FLA to be repurposed for creating other banners of varying size. Clickable area is resized automatically to fit the stage size, and a sample button with rollover states is included. 

I removed the frames-based animation; you can just add your own as you feel.

(Uses Tweener from http://code.google.com/p/tweener/ )
