How can i make an animated gif like this?

How can I make my animated gif smaller?

• I created an animated gif in Adobe imageready that is 15 seconds long. The filesize is 6 mb. I tried making it swf but, everything becomes pixelated. I'm trying to make the filesize small enough to be a website banner...any suggestions?

• Answer:

  If you're trying to make an animated gif out of a 15 second long movieclip (which is what it seems to me explains the 6 mb filesize), you're on the wrong track. Animated gifs were originally meant for small, mostly solid colored, less than 10 frame animations. You're on the right track using Flash. You'll have the best results by getting a copy of Flash 8 Pro, and importing your original movie as a movie file using "Import Video," and setting your various params like video dimensions and quality, which will then encode your video clip for web delivery. That will most likely help you get to a more realistic filesize for placement in a banner ad.
