Hello

I have the trial version of MF MX at work and I was wondering if I could make a .fla/.swf and save it as a animated .gif.

I trying to make a banner for a invisionfree message board. I did find a java script that makes flash pictures/movies able to be used as a banner logo. But when people use the FireFox browser the picture doesn't show up. .gif/jpeg/png etc are really best for that type of board. So I was wondering is it possiable make a flash movie/document and save it as a animated .gif and have it look the same as if it really were a macro flash movie/document ?

Is there a "Save As" > ".GIF" option in Flash. Im not at the location where I have Flash on the PC.

After I save it as a .Gif. When I preview it as a .GIF will it be animated and function just like if it was a .fla ?

Sorry, Im a novice at using flash. I only started using it a few days ago and Im still learning.

Im trying to make a banner (w780x h137) that looks like a big "tech sig", but all the "tech lines" are moving/fading in & out/ while a few other objects are moving indepently at different speeds.

I have the picture all figured out in my head, but Im not sure where to begin because I don't know if some of my ideas are possiable. That is why Im curious if a flash movie/picture can be converted to a animated .GIF and look and function as if it really where a .fla. I hope you understand what Im trying to say.

hm.. It's not exporting stuff from library, so you have to make everything on scene, but it works fine when you convert swf to gif with Flash SWF to GIF AVI Converter
