Step 1- Make the Animation

Get your animation ready. Make sure not to use any Movie Clips with self contained animation for it will be lost in the conversion to an animated gif.

Step 2- Publish Settings

Now that you have your animation you need to go to Publish Settings under File.


Now uncheck all of the boxes except for gif. This will not effect you if you usually preview your movies by the Test Movie feature. If you do use Publish to preview your movies, simply recheck the .swf box after this tutorial.

Now click the only remaining Gif tab at the top of the box. Now make sure you have all of these statistics...

Playback #2- Loop continuously
Options #1- Optimize
Options #2- Smooth
Transparent- Opaque (Will auto set to 128 colors most likely)
Dither- None

Step 3- Publish



Go to File then Publish.


Good Luck!
