A partial solution would be to handle update events from the main effect running the animation and capture a screenshot of the application (ImageCapture or the BitmapUtil class in Flex 4) for each update, then save those bitmaps as images (not sure how to turn those separate images into one animated gif, but I'm sure that's a well-trodden problem).
Note that capturing the screenshots may be time-consuming, depending on how complex the UI is, so you may want to run a longer animation just for this capture process. Chet.

I have a simple Flex animation (http://www.peterdavis.info/LogoAnimation.html) that I'd like to turn into an animated GIF, for two reasons: 1) To make the background transparent, and 2) To run in browsers that have a Flash blocker enabled. Can anyone suggest a simple way to do this? Thanks! -pd
