The gif output from flash isn't very good - if you have photoshop cs3,
output from flash as an image sequence (you'd probably want to
decrease the frame rate), then open the image sequence in photoshop
(in cs3 it can be opened as a single file) and save for web - it has
more advanced colour reduction/palette/dithering options that should
help reach the target size.
