Re: FLASH: importing animated gifs

Hi Bob,

If you are referring to 

Edit > Insert Object this is used to create an OLE link between Flash

and another program so you can make changes in the Linked program and

reflect them in Flash. The OLE linking can not be exported. But you can

cut the link using Modify > Break Apart. This will make the graphic

available for editting in Flash and allow you to export that graphic in

the Flash swf file. 


As Death pointed out the normal way to bring in a graphic is File >

Import.
