AS3 Scripting for Animated GIF

Question

Hi,
I am trying to create an animated GIF for a white noise animation (needed for those viewers who don't have access to a Flash player). The SWF version runs perfectly. Currently, all of the AS3 for the bitmapData.noise and bitmapData.palettemap script is in the first keyframe. So, when I export as an animated GIF, I get a white screen in playback.
I think the problem for the animated GIF is that there are no frames past the first frame. But, I am not sure how to add frames or re-write the AS3 to get a 30 second animated GIF? I tried duplicating the first keyframe into several new keyframes and get error messages. I would appreciate any help.
Here's the AS3 in the first keyframe that works well for a SWF (previous relevant thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/734335?tstart=0):
var array:Array=new Array();
for (var i:uint = 0; i < 255; i++) {
array[i] = 0xffffff * (i % 2);
var _bitmapData:BitmapData;
var bDHolder:Sprite = new Sprite();
_bitmapData = new BitmapData(stage.stageWidth/4, stage.stageHeight/4);
bDHolder.addChild(new Bitmap(_bitmapData));
bDHolder.scaleX = bDHolder.scaleY = 4;
addChild(bDHolder);
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onSpriteEnterFrame);
function makeNoise():void {
            _bitmapData.noise(getTimer(), 100, 255, 7, true);
            _bitmapData.paletteMap(_bitmapData, _bitmapData.rect, new Point(0,0), array, array,array);
function onSpriteEnterFrame(event:Event):void {
            makeNoise();
var itsNoisy:Boolean = true;
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, manageNoise);
function manageNoise(evt:MouseEvent):void {
     if(itsNoisy){
         removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onSpriteEnterFrame)
     } else {
         addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onSpriteEnterFrame)
     itsNoisy = !itsNoisy;
Kind Regards,

Jimmy,
You may (also) try to ask in the (most) relevant Photoshop forum.
