Um... It would appear that you might have it, due to your avatar and your sig, but Microsoft GIF Animator is free, and it gets the job done...

I, among a few others here, use unFREEz. Its free as the name poorly sugests. However you can only use gif images. Its a bit of a hastle sometimes, but its quick. I dont remember the website, but I'm sure its on download.com.

Try Selteco Bannershop GIF Animator. http://www.selteco.com Well, it's not free, but good one.

If you have it, you can use Adobe Imageready to view animations. You simply define which layers are visible for each frame. It's very well integrated with photoshop so that's very useful.

Once I've got each frame I use file->Export Original to save each frame as a separate file, to later import as sprites. As far as I know you can't import an animated gif into AGS. Plus GIFs are 256 colors only, and my game is 16-bit.
