Flash .gif Question

[abuddah]

Hey there.
I've seen several members here with some pretty cool animated icons. So I'm having trouble when I try and export an animated .gif out of flash, the image always comes out with a grainy texture. Is there some setting I can change to fix this?
Help a brotha out ;-)

Sorry, I just poached them from ytmnd, saved the image as a .gif and uploaded them to photobucket. I've also noticed that some animated images don't work out so well. The Flash in the middle used to lick his fingers suggestively, but the image was so choppy I just saved it as a still picture.
