# nice!

I've never had any problems exporting
to GIF(other than pallete/colour problems).

# well
if he cropped the flash file to that same size as above, the gif would be 'tiny', and would have a really great slow animated timing to it..

# i usually do all the cropping and timing
stuff in ImageReady

# no,...
I made this: www.wobshite.co.uk/b3ta/match_factory/match_factory_with%20frame.html

so that wouldn't be a problem

# thats v nice yea
but the thing with gifs, is, if its full screen changes, its much more information, ( as its not counted as vector)
this way would be a lot of nearly full screen different frames.. ( but could still optimise well as flat colour and worth trying)
but if it was cropped, only the match moving and painting 'area' changes ( smaler changed area) then the gif would come out as fantasticaly small in size and last for ages..

# Leave the optimising to me ;-) I'm ok with that
...I just need to get it to export in the first place!

# i sometimes use as a workaround to things
print screen to get stuff about quickly ,
could be done for each frame, and pasted into potatoe shlop, as the screen doesnt change size the registration would remain the same for the frames.. and then play about with the zoom/pan move once u have the frames..
but it depends how many frames your playing about with

# hehe
too many for that sort of carry-on!

Never mind... I'll stick to potatoshop

# Instead of exporting to GIF
you should export a PNG sequence, then animate and optimise in something better than flash (such as imageready if you have it).

# I screwed around with PNG exports
a bit, but the results were terrible.
I must have been doing something wrong.

# If you export
as 24-bit PNGs, it should preserve your frames perfectly (including any transparency).

# cool
I'll try it again(transparency with
GIF exports is terrible).
