Locally (on the Hash Inc server that hosts this forum) you can upload an animated Gif file.

That would provide you with a small movie.

 

The more exensive movie avatars you see (Colin Freeman and Robert Holmeins are two examples) are Flash (.swf) animations which I believe are linked to on their sites.

 

With this technique you could theoretically set up your movies for interactivity/branching too.

 

Creating Gif animation is pretty easy.

Flash animation is getting easier to make especially now as A:M is picking up the capability.

ummm, how do you make it a gif file?

 

You'll need a utility/program to make them.

 

They come in all varieties from simple to complex, command line to interface, from free to really expensive.

 

If you launch a search on Google for "animation convert AVI to GIF freeware" you are bound to find hundreds.

 

A while back I used and enjoyed AVI2GIF.

There were other programs of the same order such as TGA2GIF etc.

 

Now I use Corel Photopaint but I bought that with the Corel suite of programs for $200 or so.

 

There are a few programs that can create GIF animations themselves but don't convert/import graphics.

Those probably won't suit your needs if you are wanting to use images out of A:M.

 

Lots and lots of programs to convert images to GIF!
