I've heard some people don't know how to animate. Plus I am bored.
Well then, here is how I animate sometimes, and how I get my backgrounds transparent.
First off, you must have all your frames saved as different files, and you must line then up beforehand. It isn't too difficult to figure it out. It is also recommended/required that all the frames are the same dimensions (example: every frame is in a 64x64 box).
Step 1: Go to www.iaza.com
Step 2: Click the orange button with the black arrow on it (towards the top of the screen).
Step 3: Upload the FIRST FRAME of your animation.
Step 4: Under the "Mix" column, choose "Frame animation".
Step 5: Upload the rest of your frames, in order.
Step 6: Go to the bottom of the page, where you can set the speed of the animation (I generally use 1/10 of a second, though you can experiment), and if you want it to loop or not.
Step 7: Hit the convert button.
Step 8: You should see an enlarged version of your animation. If you don't want the background transparent, just click on the image and it'll open it in a window, regular size, where you can save it to your computer. If you want the background to be transparent, continue.
Step 9: Under the "create" column, choose "Transparent".
Step 10: On your image, click on part of the background.
Step 11: Click convert.
Step 12: You should see your animation with no background. You can now click on the enlarged animation to open the animation in a new window, regular-size.
