Welcome to the forums, EyEdeA21!

The title of your post is a little confusing as you mention saving a flash image. Flash is a specific file format for vector based animation using Macromedia's software Flash.

I'm going to presume that you are trying to create an animated GIF. If that's the case, you save all the elements of your animation as layers in Photoshop and then use the Switch To ImageReady button at the bottom of the Photoshop Tool palette.

Once there you set up the number of frames and in each frame use the eyeball next to each layer which you wish to have visible. You assign the timing each layer displays in the frames palette just below each image thumbnail, use the Optimize palette to figure out how many colors you wish to use in order to maximize the look of the animation while lowering the file size etc.

Your Photoshop/ImageReady help will provide invaluable assistance. If you get stuck let us know and we can help.
