thanks for you answer. I doubt that the method you mentioned would work.
Because how would the cell phone know about how wide or high the image would
be? I mean there must be some information in the gif file other than the
color values of all the pixels in a row ...
There are. There's information on the GIF format available online; try Googling it. It's not just color values, of course -- there's other data to send along with it.
You might want to look at the DOUG article dealing with writing *JPEG* files from Director using FileIO, as it's got some very good general information regarding converting image data to and from text, as well as binary conversion. Much of that information should be adaptable to GIFs as well.
However Tom's suggestion is a great push in the right direction.
