How to export flash sig??

[xenophek]

Ok, Adobe Flash (in the CS3 pack) really sucks at exporting GIF animations. I have a [short] flash movie in the shape of a signature that I want to be my signature. It's a simple sig, really. The non-simple part of this is that Flash refuses to cooperate.

How do I export a Flash signature so I can use it?

I dunno if flash is supported in the sigs...

Which is why I'm trying to export it as a GIF or other supported format.

If you mean something like mine; once you got the animation made, go to FILE>>SAVE AS WEB DEVICE (i think or something similar) and then just save it. Make sure it is the appropriate size

Export====>Movie=====> choose GIF option and then go from there.

Already tried that. It horribly distorts the movie.

and with distorting you mean, you lose color detail ?

Like, there were huge black masses all over the picture. One time I messed with the settings and got it to export right, but the animation was WAY off.

CS3 cannot do .gifs

Thats why i have CS2 Image Ready for that

Save the flash .gif in a folder

Open CS2 IR

File > Import > Folder as Frame > Choose folder
