Step 1- Make the Animation

Get your animation ready. Make sure not to use any Movie Clips with self contained animation for it will be lost in the conversion to an animated gif.

Step 2- Publish Settings

Now that you have your animation you need to go to Publish Settings under File.


Now uncheck all of the boxes except for gif. This will not effect you if you usually preview your movies by the Test Movie feature. If you do use Publish to preview your movies, simply recheck the .swf box after this tutorial.

Now click the only remaining Gif tab at the top of the box. Now make sure you have all of these statistics...


Dimensions- Match Movie
Playback #1- Animated
Playback #2- Loop continuously
Options #1- Optimize
Options #2- Smooth
Transparent- Opaque (Will auto set to 128 colors most likely)
Dither- None
Palette Type- Adaptive
Max Colors- 99999


Step 3- Publish



Go to File then Publish.


Good Luck!

Thanks the tips worked out great. Alls well with the images, but the text muddled up all over the stage. I suggest creating the text in AI and importing into FLA as outlined text. 

Smooth sailing from there.

gif export issueHow To Get High Quality Gif Images In Flash

 settings gave me a great quality .Gif although I have one problem. I have an animation of an elf walking a reindeer. When I publish the .Gif the elf's head is missing. The head is a graphic just like every other piece of the animation. There are no real differences that I have found so far between the head graphic and all of the other graphics in the scene. This issue only happens when I export as a .Gif. If I publish a swif then everthing works just fine. Please help with this issue, I am completely out of ideas.

gif publish - text problemHow To Get High Quality Gif Images In Flash

Heya, awesome, this fixed my colours/resolution problem.

BUT what I find when I publish is that my text (which is currently centre-aligned) gets shoved to the right... No matter what I do I can't seem to fix it! Any suggestions?
