# Ah, that's a pain :(
Have you got quicktime pro? You can export the animation as an image sequence using that. Pain though.

Alternatively somehow convert the .gif to a .mov, and then you should be able to import it?

# Yeah probably the best solution.
I think they've done it so you've got to buy Fireworks if you want to do animations, bastards. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

# There must be hundreds of free programs
that allow you to open a gif for editing then either save it as a psd or export all frames to layers.
That would take a minute then you can do all the rest in photoshop.

It's not that I don't want you to use fireworks. I just know that you will hate it.

It's been on the server over a week waiting for you.

# You keep mentioning this server.
It sounds like a modern day Tutankhamun's tomb.

# on a mac
Change the animated .GIF file you want to open into .MOV file.

eg. boxcat.gif to boxcat.mov

the Import Video Frames to Layers function will recognize it as a video file and will open it as animated sequence.
