Flash Avatars!

Just for fun I made my avatar into a simple Flash (.swf) file & it works! Oh the possibilies! :wacko:

The only problem is that the board won't allow you to upload the .swf file by browsing on your harddrive, I had to link it to an external URL, no biggie.

Thats true, but animated .gifs end up being a larger file size & are limited to 256 colours.

Fair enough.... I s'pose yer fade would look like ass at 256.....

Ya... I actually tried it as an ani gif first. It looked horrible. Then I realized that I actually could use a Flash .swf file, so now it looks cool!
