Recipe 2.7. Exporting Animated GIF FilesProblemYou want to use Flash to export an animated GIF. SolutionCreate your animation in the main timeline and then export the file as an animated GIF. DiscussionFlash allows you to export your animations not only in SWF format, but in several other formats, including animated GIF files. As with single-frame GIF content, you can publish your animated
GIFs in two ways. One way is to use the File The single advantage that the export movie technique offers over the publish settings technique is that it allows you to export an animated GIF from a timeline other than the main timeline. Otherwise, the publish settings technique is typically more advantageous. In order to export an animated GIF using the export movie technique, choose File You can export an animated GIF using the publish settings technique as well. The publish settings technique offers the advantage of allowing you to export the image file repeatedly with only the press of a key on the keyboard rather than having to navigate menu systems and so forth. It also allows you to export the animated GIF from a subrange of frames (though only from the main timeline) rather than the entire timeline. In order to export an animated GIF using the publish settings technique, first configure the publish settings appropriately. Choose File When you use the publish settings technique to publish your animated GIF, you can specify a subrange of frames on the main timeline for which to export the animation. By default, the entire timeline is used. However, if you add #First and #Last frame labels to the appropriate frames (on the main timeline only), Flash will export the animation between those frames, inclusive. See AlsoRecipe 2.6 |
