My son made an avatar that is animated, what kind of file does it need to be saved as to use?

Stickman,

Only a GIF supports animation.

If he is using flash, he can publish it as a gif, but you have to change the size. The smaller, the more advanced it can be.

you need a program to put together pictures in a series and resize them. ulead gif animator is a good one. It only needs to be a few frames to show movement.

He was using a shareware program called Gamemaker 5. It really isn't a program for doing this, but it let's him create moving characters. The gif. does move in the Gamemaker but when we save it and open it just gets a still picture. No biggie we were just playing around.
