Hey, I was tring to use http://www.troop751.com/ritalin.swf as my avitar. I tried it on its original websitehttp://hot.ee/msnp32/ritalin.swf, but it didn't work. I tried putting it on a file dump. Didn't work. I dont know what to do.

The avitar selection page says that you can use .swf files. Is it to big?

i have another one i would like instead, as told above.

If you click on the link, you will see that is is no pic of memory it is like a music video in a .swf. its lame but I want it to work.

I wanted to have a working avitar so I swiched back.

Yes, I am a NOOB.

But it says that you can use .swf am I incorrect? Can it not be done? All that it says is 'no avitar'

It says it will accept .swf files but I have never seen anyone use that. And yes yours is way to big.

EDIT Sorry, i thought that u wanted to use a .swf file that you had created in flash MX as your avatar
I guess i'd better read posts before i post...

Click file>Publish Settings.
Then tick the box that says .GIF.
Then click the new .GIF pane.
Choose Animated.
I also recommend using dithering as Diffusion. (sorry 56k!&#33

Then the next time u publish your movie it'll turn up as a .gif file. Host this link.

Hope this helps B)
