Hello, I ran into odd thing today. I am using Adobe Flash CS3 Professional 9.0 and I made a a new AS2.0 document with a few frames with static text. Then I published it as animated GIF and I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the result. Here’s an example:

Static text, if you go File - Export - Export video and pick animated Gif (Allight):

Static text, if you get the animated Gif from Publishing (Screwed):

Dynamic text, if you get the animated Gif from Publishing (Allright):
