1. Animated GIF
Is there a way to show an animated gif? The ways that I have found to show
gifs only show one frame of a gif.

This is not a trival exercise. I have found some C/C++ code for
loading GIF files and displaying them with animation, but it would
take me a while to convert them into Euphoria. If you want the
code it can be found at ...
http://www.codeproject.com/staticctrl/gifanimation/AnimationGif_src.zip
or with transparency added ...

The only way is to load it in a browser like Mozilla... .
Therr is an Euphoria lib in the archive to create an animated GIF,
but as far as I know without possibility to display it.
Nave a nice day, Rolf

There's several libs in the achives, all dos. One is a landscape you fly ov=
er,=20
in any direction you want, including backwards. The other is a running cat,=
=20
but it's not me. I would assume you can use Al's windows server to=20
sequence thru any background fed to it by a thread(s) generating it?

well..for now..i have kinda "gone through the back door" to do it anyway..
i opened the animated gif up in animation shop......saved each one of the
frames (was only 3.heh)....and set up a timer to rotate through the 3 frames
instead of just display the one....but yes, like you mentioned below...i've
lost my transparancy now.

Michelle,
Here's another way, though it requires converting the file to an .avi.
You could use the ACM_OPEN, ACM_PLAY and ACM_STOP messages in a
sendMessage() call to play a windows .avi file. Like I said, this requires
you to convert to an .avi but I'm pretty sure you could find a tool on
the net to do the conversion for you.
FWIW...

If you were using EuGTK, animated gif's work automatically. No additional
code needed.

there are some OCX's (activeX controls) to work with these
which you could wrap with Matt's EUCOM.
I'm having trouble finding
documentation for the free one I have.
