# well first of all, you can make the animation as big as 250k (but not over that)
anyway... while in imageready
open up a new document, width 1 px, height 2 px. make one pixel black, the other leave transparent.

click 'edit' and then 'define pattern.'

click the last layer of the animation (not the frame, the layer) then add a new layer to the end. right click and find another drop down menu ('layer style') and click 'pattern overlay.' when the new small menu comes up for pattern overlay, click the small down arrow and click 'user defined pattern.' now go back to 'edit' and click 'fill' then press ok for the pop up window.

so basically you're copying a layer of scanlines on top of all the other layers; the scanlines themselves are nothing more than a tiled version of two pixels. it's a great method.

# you're very welcome
i'm off to bed for now so if you have any questions i'll be around tomorrow evening as well.

just remember, you're not dealing with the frames list at all, you're dealing with the layers list; a big difference.
