gif 2 flash

STaN · 2002-01-11 15:42:39

I saw a utility somewhere... i forget now (really useful i know :confused: ). But basically what it did was convert animated gif's to flashes. I've heard the the compression is better in flashes, so thats why thats preferable. If you know of a program that can do this, please let me know. Thanx.

If you have any version of flash, start a new file, and change the movie dimensions to match the size of the gif you want to use. Then click the file menu, then import, and select the .gif you want to use.

If however you don't have flash, you could try http://www.swishzone.com , which lets you create flash, without flash, and has inbuilt features for importing .gifs etc.
