We tried at a time to use the Mozilla SVG support but it was not stable
enough at that time and stopped it.

Files in the .gcanim extentions are binary python class export. You
cannot use them in anything but GCompris.

You have 2 solutions:
- tell your recipient to use GCompris.
- make a standard movie from the GCompris window with a desktop
  recording tool. It should even be possible to make flash movies
  out of them but I never tried anything.
