You have to click on
file / save optimized as... and save it as a GIF file.
Before you do that, look at my attachment. At the bottom you notice a palette in ImageReady that gives you control over the way your GIF file is going to be saved. Important is the option
Colors. By bringing down the colors you can shrink the final file size of your animated GIF. Now look at my attachment again. At the top you notice a kind of preview palette. Make sure that the
Optimized tab in this palette is selected. What is nice about this palette is that it will allow you to see a preview of the final GIF using the settings from your
optimize palette. Now to keep the size down, we bring down the amount of colors. Change the settings for
Colors and look at the instant preview. Still good enough? Ok, let's try a lower setting and see if it still looks great. You can also change any of the others settings and preview the result in the
preview palette. Just check your help to find out what the purpose is of all these other settings (you're probably not going to need them). At the bottom of your preview windows you can also see what your final file size is probably going to be, in this case about 8.731K.
Also make sure that you don't use too many frames. In my example I used only 4.
Good luck
