Making an animation logo for the website (3): .gif,.swf,nested animation

U: hey
M: 🙂
M: how r u?
 *** U sent Coolder.com.swf ***
U: open with flash player
U: i’m fine…how are you
M: me too.
M: that’s great
M: maybe it’s a bit too fast
M: you disappeared
U: i’m trying to figure out how to correctly make it into an animated GIF
U: i can’t get it to stop
M: oh, you mean it will loop?
U: it loops when in GIF format…but i don’t want it to
U: can you embed the swf file into your website?
M: it should have a place to configure that.
M: I can embed it .swf file into my website but everytime, the webpage is open, it will ask to unblock the .swf file.
U: i know how to make flash animations…but need to study how to embed and convert to put on websites
M: I think when .swf file is converted into .gif, you open the .gif with a gif software, you will see a series of static pictures.
M: I have downloaded such a .gif software before.
U: yeah…its really slow
M: 🙂
U: so…anyway…do you want the original flash file?
U: do you have flash?
M: what flash? you sent me a .swf file, right?
M: Just now, I downloaded a easygifmaker software
U: yes…but i can give you the fla file
U: you have to open with the application
M: with what application to open it?
U: flash
M: ok. but can you send me the .gif file too?
 *** U sent Coolder.gif ***
M: it can’t stop, 🙂
U: i know
U: thats why you need to embed the swf file
M: I think I can deal with it. I just need to find that .gif software I downloaded before.
U: i will slow down the animation a bit
U: i will make more
U: i need to practice again
M: oh, is it easy to change its color?
U: i spend all day making things with illustrator and photoshop
U: but i like flash and after effects much better
U: yes…its easy to change anything
M: I like the color I used in the original ico I used. The blue color is a bit light.
M: what do you think?
U: which one?
U: ico?
M: on the upper left corner of the webpage http:// coolder.com
M: “Coolder.com”
M: that dark blue
U: purple green and orange
M: if with all three, it will be great.
M: what do you think?
U: whatever colors you like
M: 🙂
U: i’m thinking about some sort of ‘nested animation”
U: maybe a butterfly
M: what’s that?
U: its an animation of an image with moving parts
U: a figure walking with arms and legs moving
U: a bird
U: whatever
U: i think a colorful butterfly would be cool
M: Undecided
U: why confused
M: Do you mean to make that “Coolder.com” looks like a butterfly?
U: i mean with it
M: I found that .gif software and it can make that .gif file stop looping now. Do you need that software? I can send it to you.
U: no..not now
U: but thanks
M: but how make it works with a hand writing icon you made already?
M: welcome
U: i don’t know
M: it’s 71 pieces 😉
U: i know
M: it must spend quite a bit time to do so many pieces.
U: you need the adobe flash application to ‘combine’ the objects
U: 30 minutes
M: not too long 😉
U: thats easy stuff
U: nested animation is a little more time consuming
M: oh
U: well…maybe not
U: making the object and cutting it into layers is the hard part
M: maybe when it stops, you can make it turn into something interesting.
U: but making it move in flash is easy
U: ok
U: what do you think would be interesting
M: I’m thinking
U: ok…maybe let me know tomorrow
U: i’m turning in for the night
M: what do you think  it’s interesting? maybe a cat, a big or something lovely.
M: do you mean you are sleepy?
U: yes…very much
M: ok, have a good sleep.
U: thanks
M: welcome
