# ...and your point is,.,,?
actually, what's a good way of optimizing? 32 colours, 3 frames, what is making my animations so large? crappy software?

# I did say Yay!
You totally missed the point.. never mind ;)

EDIT: Ok, never funny if it has to be explained, but here goes.. you said 'sorry for the size".. I posted a MAHOOSIVE pic that was minisculey smaller in file size.. everyone gets upset.. *tsk*..nevermind.

# There are 9 frames in there
and you seem to have dithering switched on which will hike up the filesize.

Try adding some lossy compression too - sometimes just a little bit takes a big chunk off the filesize.

No, it's just that I don't find the time to muddle through an animation often, so when I do, it's usually oversized (and crap).

# S'ok..
Bob's advice was good though.. sometimes it easy to get the filesize right down with no loss of effect. Just ask on here, if it's a serious question, you won't normally get any flack :)
