I would like to know how can I automatically generate several files from an animated gif. If you have used images for section titles in an html page you know that it’s a bit tedious and time-consuming to generate each title by hand. I’m trying to find a way to automate the process of generating the titles images for a website I’m working on and I already have some ideas: Using flash I can put all the section titles in an array, create a dynamic text and assign a variable to it. Then, I will make that the variable loads the next item of the array each next frame. Then I select file-\>export-\>movie-\>as animated gif and I have one file with all my titles. This is pretty cool (I think), but it’s completely worthless if I need to open then the animated gif and manually copy each frame to individual files. Do you catch me? If I find a program/technique to convert that animated gif to several gif files in one step, the whole process will became really useful. Any ideas? ---
