1-first open image ready and create a new document 50 x 50 pixels

2- then take the paint bucket( with any color u want selected i used black) and fill ur first layer with this color

3- then take the text tool and on a new layer just add wat text u want to it

4- now make sure the eye is open b/c for the first layer u want the first part of ur text to be seen

5- now duplicate ur animation frame http://img155.exs.cx/img155/8076/tut11pr.th.jpg (http://img155.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img155&image=tut11pr.jpg)

6- on this frame hide ur first text layer by clicking the eye

7- then use the text tool again and write watever u want

8- u can repeat this as many times as u want for as much text as u have

9- once ur done with ur text u can adjust the frame speed now http://img155.exs.cx/img155/8076/tut11pr.th.jpg (http://img155.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img155&image=tut11pr.jpg)

10- once u have u can click the play button u no the triangle looking button under where u adjusted the frame speed?

11- if u like it go to file>save optimized as> and then choose .gif. it shud be small enough to put it onto aim. mine was only 1 kb so as long as u dont overstuff it with text .. or images u shud be fine

Making AIM icons is also easily done by using this site. You can upload any Naruto pictures and make the icons animated.
