How do I make an animated .gif?

[dsharits]

Okay, here's the deal. This is my 489th post, so I am going to be able to have an avatar soon (hopefully today). I would like to make an animated .gif myself, but I don't know how to go about doing this. Could I get some instructions from you wise gurus out there? I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

Do you have Photoshop and Imageready?

Here's a starting point.

Ignore the fact that it demonstrates it on Windows.

Experiment with something simple first before getting too ambitious.
Also, don't ignore the file size limit for avatars before you get carried away.

Thank you for making this thread. This is also my 489th post and im getting ready to make an avatar.

Still trying to think of what to do though. Two of my favourite things have already been done. 24 and the hitchhikers guide.

Maybe a hockey avatar.....

No worries...

Here's another but from Adobe this time. You can also download a PDF of the tutorial...

Good luck and we're looking forward to seeing the results.

Haha, it will probably be something to do with the canucks.

Hi, I just started to learn flash and after reading those links could flash do the same things? Thank you for any help
