um..if u wanna use adobe image ready..here it is...

1.u arrange ur banner like inside this page...


2.open adobe image ready


3.in the adobe image ready, go to window>animation, the animation window juz like in this image


4.inside animation window, u duplicates the same image. make sure da numbers of duplicates are same with the layer that u want make animation. example, look at the pallete, i've got 6 layers, so u duplicate 6 also


5.u go to 1st layer in the animation window>pallete>press the indicates layer visibility (da eye shape) on all the layers except layer 1..that thing is to make another layer invisible if u press that..
*in layer 1 in animation window, u turn on the eye layer 1 in pallete n turn off all the eye of the layers. in layer 2 in animation window, u turn on the eye layer 2 and turn off all the eye of the layer..got it?



6.repeat step 5 for every layers until u got sumthing like this


7.now is the fun part...assign appearance time (in seconds) to each frame -- just right click on the time '0 sec' and change it.
*In this example I changed the time to 2 sec = 2.0*


8.click on the little 'play' arrow to see the animation..and make sure u set it to forever..

9.choose menu Window>Optimize, and change the settings to the ones below...(the higher colour it is, better the image comes out to be)


10. to save, go to file>save optimize as>save as type GIF

done...here is my result...
