For example:

~# cd /usr/local/sitebuilder/htdocs
htdocs]# ls -l tmp/flash.swf
-rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache 244906 Oct 10 15:09 tmp/flash.swf

3. Change to Advertising Banner configuration page at Server > Trial Sites Settings: Advertising Banner. By default the batter is "You can buy hosting at http://yourdomain."
4. Click button "Source" in WYSIWYG menu
5. Enter the HTML code. For example:

<object height="250" align="" width="500" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0">
                        <param name="movie" value="tmp/flash.swf?code=Default" />
                        <param name="quality" value="high" />
                        <param name="Scale" value="ShowAll" />
                        <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
                        <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
                        <param name="FlashVars" value="BackgroundId=1&amp;ObjectId=1&amp;Text1=Flash+Intro+page+title&amp;Text2=Flash+Intro+body+text" /><embed height="250" align="" width="500" quality="high" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" wmode="opaque" src="tmp/flash.swf?code=Default" flashvars="BackgroundId=1&amp;ObjectId=1&amp;Text1=Flash+Intro+page+title&amp;Text2=Flash+Intro+body+text"></embed></object>
