what do you ppl use for gif animations? i'm looking in a product that does stuff like imageready(able to do tweening and motion and stuff) but is faster and more optimizing methods.
any comments?
thanks

I'm not Mr Graphics, but I tend to use Flash for creating occasional animated gifs (it's an export option) - mainly because it's so easy to use, and there's loads of export options for reducing file size etc. An example of an animated gif created in Flash:

It was for some sort of naff special offer ad for a company I was working for at the time. 28k, not too bad really.
I do not know how this program is,
but you could try:

dang65> I tried flash. the animations were too large and did not offer advanced optimizing methods of other gif animation apps but it was sooo easy, its tempting.
pippo> yeah, i tried it. didn't like it.
what else do u guys use?? is fireworks good? or is it just a pretty interface?
