How to Publish an Animated GIF From Flash
Compiling a Flash animation requires access to the Adobe Flash software and all of its palettes, menus, timeline and stage, but viewing a Flash file doesn't require the same setup. After you design a Flash document, such as a movie clip featuring an animated GIF, you complete the process by publishing the file. This converts the FLA Flash file into a file called a SWF, openable by anyone with the free Flash reader software. Publishing your animated GIF ensures a much larger viewing audience than just those with the actual Flash software.
