RE: FLASH: using flash to create animated gifs

[Maraya Cornell]

It seems like it would be a whole lot easier to create your animated GIFs in

another program, like Fireworks, Imageready or other graphics program. You

would probably end up with smaller files too. You can do batch processing in

ImageReady or Fireworks.
