Create PNG Sprite Sheets for 6 Short Animations in a FLA Master File

Very quick job - looking for a graphic designer who has experience in both Flash and Photoshop. I have 6 very short animations (10 ~ 15 frames on average) in a FLA file. We want to use these animations in an iPad application. Here's where you come in.

I need someone to output each of the 6 animations into a master PNG sprite sheet, and then use Photoshop to cut up the master sprite sheet into a series of smaller sprite sheets that are each less than 2048 x 1536 (the idea is to fit each animation into as few sprite sheets as possible that do not exceed those dimensions). Please note that due to the way our app animates, there cannot be any empty frames in a sprite sheet (all frames must be filled, so when picking the number of frames in a sprite sheet you'll want to pick a number in which the total number of frames is divisible with no remainder; if there were 18 frames in the animation, you could use sprite sheets of 2, 3, 6 or 9 frames, but not 4, 5, 7 or 8 frames). Please also note that our program plays sprite sheets in clockwise direction starting with the frame whose upper left most corner is 0 x, 0 y (some examples below of a 2x2 sprite sheet and a 3x2 sprite sheet):

=====

=1=2=

=====

=3=4=

=====

=======

=1=2=3=

=======

=4=5=6=

=======

So the workflow is open the FLA file, output a master PNG sprite sheet of an animation, then do some math for that animation to determine the number of frames per sprite sheet and total number of sprite sheets (with a goal of having as few sprite sheets as possible without any single sprite sheet exceeding 2048 x 1536 and not leaving any empty frames in any sprite sheet), then cut up the master PNG sprite sheet into the correct number of sprite sheets, with the frames correctly ordered animation, then save the sprite sheets using the assigned naming convention. Do this for each of 6 animations.

The sprite sheets will use a naming convention (basically [url removed, login to view], [url removed, login to view], [url removed, login to view], etc.).

I've attached the FLA file so you can look before submitting a proposal. I've also attached some example sprite sheets from a prior version of the "right" animations (for those versions, a 2x1 was the largest sprite sheet that worked).

We'll do one example as a milestone then a final milestone for delivery of the other five.
