Gif Animator cuts off animation when saved as a swf

Does anyone know why my Gif Animator is cutting off my image when I save as a swf file? It has never done this before. If I save as a .gif file it is right, it only cuts 90% of my animation off when saving as a swf.

Could you supply more detail? You say it cuts 90% off, but you don't specify if it's trimming the physical area, or has less frames.

The more detail you can provide, the better. The area of the animation, how many frames, exactly what save options you're using, etc.

It is actually cutting the image about 90% off. I'm using 6 frames and the frame size is 877x754 pixels and to save it I go to File>Save As>Macromedia Flash (SWF)>With JPEG and I keep the default settings of Quality: 90, Subsampling: YUV411, FPS: 3. That's all the info I can give you, I'm VERY new to Ulead Gif Animator. I have made a very similar SWF animation before with the same settings and it didn't cut any of the image off. I'm totally perplexed! lol It is probably something I'm doing wrong but the wired thing is I'm using the last known successful settings.

I believe the problem lies with the image size. The dimensions should be no more than 800 x 600 pixels. Try resizing your image and then save again. That should fix the problem.
