1. Today many resource masters use SWF files
on their sites. They are trying to make web
pages more catching and hence more
popular. At first sight, it's OK. SWF elements
make web page eye-catching and catchy. But
on the other hand there is the problem that
may affect the traffic of resource, and
therefore the profit. Why this is possible? In
fact not all people have Macromedia Flash
player installed on their system, so they may
cannot see your flash animation at all. And
therefore they cannot see such important
sides of resource as banners, animated
buttons, menus etc. So you can lose potential
clients. So what should I do? - you may ask. I
was thinking about this issue for a long time,
and finally I've found a great solution. We all
know about an animated GIF format, that is
de-facto standard in Internet world. This
format is supported by totally all browsers,
and people don't have to use additional
2. software to be able to see GIFs. So why to do
not try to convert our Flash to GIF animation?
To do this, we will need a utility for Flash to
GIF converting. I have spent a lot of time
while seeking for a lot of tools in this
category. And finally I've found stunning
application SWF-AVI-GIF Converter, that has
a power to solve our problem. It is made for
easy and quick Flash to GIF conversion.
When I have used it first time, I was very
impressed by the interface. It is cool and
easy-to-use. Actually this program is not only
for SWF to GIF transcoding. It is also able to
transcode SWF to GIF, FLV to AVI, video to
animated GIF and SWF to JPEG series. But
we only need the 1st option - Flash to GIF. So
at first, we open our flash file (both SWF and
FLV files are allowed). Second, we have to
edit the GIF: there are many controls on this
tab. So we can edit the Frame rate. This is
how frequently slides move in the animated
GIF. The higher this value is, the smooter will
be output GIF. The next control is a color
depth. The value is 8 bits by default, but if you
need something else, you can pick up "As in
source" value. The next important option is
size of the final GIF - width and height. Just
edit these values and you will see how the
resulting image will look like on Preview area.
The final three parameters are not so
important, but who knows?.. Thus you are
3. allowed to enter the "Loop GIF animation"
setting, so that the final GIF will be animated
forever. If you turn off that option - the GIF will
be played just once. You can also choose the
Transparent color and Background color.
When all changes are ready, we are ready to
initiate the conversion. Just click the "Start
GIF recording" button, and that's it. The
software will complete the encoding work,
and you can save your GIF to any directory
on the PC. When you received your animated
GIF, you can move it to the server and rewrite
previous SWF animation on your web page.
This is it. You will not have questions with
SWF compatibilities anymore. Download and
use for free this powerful SWF to GIF
encoder tool. I am sure you will be amazed,
and your problems will be solved.
