Title says it all. Help please?

file
PS/ if the file is an animation...click on the word "gif" next to the word "format" and make it animated....not statique !

If you are using CS3 then
File>Export Movie then choose file type as "Animated GIF"
Press enter.
Tada!

Just as a future tip, if you want to do a STATIC picture, not an animated gif, then you'll have to check the .png box format, that's the best quality for a picture ^^

PNG Offers the best quality for digital posting.
If your image is staying on the computer, export it as PNG.

JPEG Is better for printing, before exporting set a fairly high resolution for best results. I also recommend a good quality printer.

but yeah, if you want a moving picture use animated GIF. AVOID USING MOVIE CLIPS AT ALL TIMES.
This ruins the GIF's quality, even though flash's GIF quality is pretty low to begin with.

Follow the instructions provided by the above, and you should be good.

People here have pretty much covered it, but one important note.
By default PNG files will have a transparent background, so if you want a white background you'll have to alter the settings or draw a big white box over the canvas on the bottom layer.

Thanks you guys! Imma make my own Christmas sword and stuff :3
