I don't really support gif2swf anymore- it was written by Daichi

Still, if you report an error about a gif not converting correctly,
please always also attach the .gif.

Yes, that's possible.

You can't have more than 65535 images, and hence, frames.

resize them. If you want smaller file size, do.
