Macromedia Flash Help please 

How do you convert a Flash Document into a GIF?

I have macromedia Flash 8 and I have tried clicking on the 'Save as' function to find it but for some reason, It only comes up with 2 types of formats.

RE: Macromedia Flash Help please 

Thanks thugbeatz, will do.

Anyway, this is what I made from the advice you gave me, It's not much but it's the first time I've animated anything and host it :)

RE: Macromedia Flash Help please 

I have another question. Is there any other way you can make a GIF’s image quality better?
It' comes out all distorted and fuzzy when I export it.

Thanks

RE: Macromedia Flash Help please 

You need a new codec .
That way you can have better depth color and DPI

For now try this :

Edit > preferences > clipboard >
color depth 32 bit if you codec supports it .
then change resolution to 300 DPI(dots per inch)

also when exporting chose : 256 colors and set 300 DPI
also under PUBLISH SETTINGS make sure you have flash 8 selected and compres movie disabled .


FILE > EXPORT > MOVIE > ANIMATED GIF
do this even if you exporting and image

I find it easier to export my flash animation to an uncompressed avi-file. I then load it into imageready to convert it to a ani-gif. Imho; imageready provides a better compression whilst not giving to much in on quality.




necromancer all the way

Hmm. This is what I got so far:


For now, What do you guys think?

P.S thanks for the advice thugbeatz. I am going to experiment with all of those ideas in a minute

Travis = I will make the sword animation more noticeable later.

Any opiniouns?
