If you are using flash mx then it is easy [i can’t speak for other versions, but i am positive it is the same].

When you have made your movie, then click file-\>export movie, and then choose animated gif.

There you go 🙂

It will be a huge file size, and will loose it’s whole interactive aspect. But if you can’t use flash [say a forum sig], then it’s good to use animated gif.
