On some client work for a client I have been helping them turn this animation into an animated gif from it’s flash form. To get the smooth animation in Flash we first turned the fps (frames per second) up to 31, then I exported each frame by exporting the movie as a jpeg sequence. Then I also exported the animated gif from flash, (but didn’t get the a very clean picture). So I replaced each frame in the animated gif with the exported jpeg frame, then customized the palate to really keep clean the important pieces. Also, Fireworks seems to do a much better job of dithering the flat image then Flash can do with all the layer information it uses.
