They won't be able to make flash files as the flash format is closed. They should be able to make animated gifs.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] stop frame animation
I think you can just use the gimp - create a layer for each frame then just save as a .gif and choose to save as an animation. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
