Costumes to animated gif?
Dragging an animated gif into Scratch or Panther will seperate it into costumes for each frame. Is there a way to reverse the procedure and CREATE animated Gifs? I'm fed up with using the limited quality online gif generators

Probably, but not directly from Scratch. Using source code it should be easily done.

Or, if it's a big project, ask someone to do it for you which has Flash like me!

Don't think so, but I've got two different programs on my computer which can create animated gifs, and one of them seems to be available for free: http://www.freewaregeeks.com/?page=detail&get_id=228&category=18

Oh. 
I take back my offer.. JK. I'd be happy to do it but it becomes tiring after a while. Unless...
I'm sure you could do that in PHP! Ask MathWizz or Daffy22 for more help. You could simply put the image URL in and it would do the rest...

Well, that's a way to do it but not what I was trying to say.
What I mean is that, if you don't absolutely need an animated GIF, you could do with a simple picture of each one and it would rotate automatically.

THERE IS! You need to make a file full of the pics, then make the MoviePlayerMorph (click the white at the bottom of the screen, click new morph, then MoviePlayerMorph), click menu, then click "create JPEG movie from folder of frames"... oh, well that makes a JPEG movie. I am not sure if you can drag those into scratch.
If you are reading this, please read to the end, because if you don't you won't know what's at the end. Don't just skip to the end though otherwise you won't be able to read the middle, which is most important. Now you must be wondering why you just read all that, the reason is you may have not noticed something, read it again and see if you notice it this time

Or get a flash keygen. It's illegal, but you get the full thing for free!
