How do I create a cross-measure tuplet? I need it to begin at the end of one measure, and continue into the next measure.

The big question is:
How do you want the layout to look where the tuplet goes across a system break???
See the attached Finale 2014 document for a solution that will work across a system break.
To attach my 2014 document here I changed the file name extension from .musx to .zip.
When you have downloaded the document, just change the file name extension from .zip back to .musx.
Then Finale 2014 can open it.

While knowing how to cross a system break may also be useful, my question was actually simpler, about how just to cross a measure line. The attachment did not open on my system.

You can't. What you CAN do is to create a double-length measure, hiding the time signature, and entering a false barline as an expression.
The problem is that, properly speaking, if you have a triplet crossing the barline, half of the middle note would be on one side, and half on the other. So you would have to use (for example) eighth, sixteenth tied to a sixteenth, and another eighth. Trust me. The false barline is easier.

When you have done so, you have a Finale 2014 document named “Cross-measureTuplet.musx”.
When you open the document in Finale 2014, the tuplet should look like this:
As you can see, this tuplet layout can go across a system break.
