    For starter, you just go to google and do a search for 'gif animated 64x64'
    keep in mind that for the avatars they need to be 64x64 no larger, smaller that 64x64 will also work fine.

    Here are some helpful links that have many free ones, and that are also small enough to abide by the 64x64 restriction:
    http://www.gifs.net/gif/ <-- many many FREE gifs here.
    http://www.animationfactory.com/en/ <-- This site has some free ones every now and then, with a nifty tool to re-size the free ones to any size you like.

    *make sure you check the properties of the image to make sure the dimensions are 64x64 or less

    There are many more sites that you will find, and there are also lots of tutorials out there for how to create your own. In brief, an animated gif is just 2 or more images with a transition between them.

    If you find other sites with free animated gif, feel free to share the links for everyone on answerbag :)

    You can either creat your own using software like: Macromedia Flash 8 or Adobe Photoshop CS2 the animations tablet. You can also find some free ones on the web and make your own simple one if you wish.

    Find it here:

    http://avatars.jurko.net/ Find a moving one.

    Then if it doesn't move go here to make it 64x64 http://www.gifworks.com/image_editor.html

    Those types of files are called Gifs. This is just one of thousands of sites offering them for free:
    http://www.gifs.net/gif/
    or Google the term gif and seek one that suits your personality .

    Simple really.
    Use a web search engine eg., google and type 'animated avatar' into the search box.
    Click return and will be presented with many websites that offer animated avatars - many of them for free.
    When you have found a site you like from those found by google, right-click on the avatar of your choice and choose 'save to disk'.
    If asked where to save it on disk, choose desktop or any directory you like (perhaps one named by you as Avatars in your your 'my images' folder.

    Note that if you come across an avatar you like at any website you can do the same with that avatar. (see below)


    I hope this helps you.

    Answerbag doesn't host Flash unfortunately, so there are two options.

    1) Host the flash somewhere else and provide a link to the file.

    2) Export the flash as a different format.
    2a) If you choose to export the file as a video you can upload it to YouTube and then embed the animation.
    2b) You could always export the file as an animated GIF image.

    =)

    You can also make one on flash. To do that make a flash cartoon of what you want your avatar to be. then go to file: export movie, and set the format to animated .gif. then put the .gif as your avatar. (also make sure it's smaller than 64x64 pixels)

    Here are two great sites
    1) http://www.funfilesandsmiles.com (click on 'Smileys')
    2) http://www.heathersanimations.com

    You may need to resize your avatar in order for it to work here however. To do this, visit http://www.gifworks.com/
