Title: RE: FLASH: Animated Gif into Flash?

When you say animated gif, I am assuming you mean an actual .gif file that has multiple layers. In flash you can import an animated gif and flash will actually break each frame up and place it in the flash movie. I find this feature actually pretty darn cool. All you have to do is import an animated gif (Make sure you have it in the library so it's a symbol that way it's easy to move around etc..) and Flash will do the rest.

I hope this helped.

Subject: FLASH: Animated Gif into Flash?

If you don't have the source of an animated GIF, is
there a way to get it into Flash and maintain the
animation?

Or, if you do have the source, what's the quickest way
to get it into Flash as an animated graphic?

Thanks in advance!
