Animated gif files not working in FF5 ok in every other browser

Hi .
I am having problems getting animated gifs to play in firefox 5 i am using a photo gallery script to show these files it works in every other browser i have access to (most of them on Linux and windows Xp and win7 ) if i use FF5 as a file manager and navigate to the files they run but not from a web page this is only with firefox 4 and 5 not got previous to 4 to test .

Right . this looks like it may be a problem with the way FF5 is handling various methods of viewing images i use the following code .
<pre><nowiki><a class="thumbnail" href="#thumb"><img src="photos/IMG_7039 EOS-1D Mark III copy.jpg" width="100px" height="75px" border="0"><span><img src="photos/Animations/IMG_7039 EOS-1D Mark III copy.gif"></span></a></nowiki></pre>
along with css .
<pre><nowiki>(
.gallerycontainer{
position: relative;
/*Add a height attribute and set to largest image's height to prevent overlaying*/
.thumbnail img{
border: 1px solid blue;
margin: 0 5px 5px 0;
.thumbnail:hover{
background-color: transparent;
.thumbnail:hover img{
border: 1px solid blue;
.thumbnail span{ /*CSS for enlarged image*/
position: fixed;
background-color: lightyellow;
padding: 5px;
left: -600px;
border: 1px dashed gray;
visibility: hidden;
color: black;
text-decoration: none;
.thumbnail span img{ /*CSS for enlarged image displays the large image*/
border-width: 4;
padding: 12px;
.thumbnail:hover span{ /*CSS for enlarged image*/
visibility: visible;
top: 0;
left: 230px; /*position where enlarged image should offset horizontally */
z-index: 50;
)</nowiki></pre>
to create the gallery now if i navigate directly to the dir with the gif images in they work ok but if i use the gallery method they fail .
Tried safe mode no addons no change ..

Resized animated gif ImageIcon not working properly with JButton etc.

The problem is that when I resize an ImageIcon representing an animated gif and place it on a Jbutton, JToggelButton or JLabel, in some cases the image does not show or does not animate. More precicely, depending on the specific image file, the image shows always, most of the time or sometimes. Images which are susceptible to not showing often do not animate when showing. Moving over or clicking with the mouse on the AbstractButton instance while the frame is supposed to updated causes the image to disappear (even when viewing the non-animating image that sometimes appears). No errors are thrown.
Here some example code: (compiled with Java 6.0 compliance)
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Test
     public static void main(String[] args)
          new Test();
     static final int IMAGES        = 3;
     JButton[]           buttons       = new JButton[IMAGES];
     JButton             toggleButton = new JButton("Toggle scaling");
     boolean            doScale       = true;
     public Test()
          JFrame f = new JFrame();
          f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          JPanel p = new JPanel(new GridLayout(1, IMAGES));
          for (int i = 0; i < IMAGES; i++)
               p.add(this.buttons[i] = new JButton());
          f.add(p, BorderLayout.CENTER);
          f.add(this.toggleButton, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
          this.toggleButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
               @Override
               public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
                    Test.this.refresh();
          f.setSize(600, 300);
          f.setVisible(true);
          this.refresh();
     public void refresh()
          this.doScale = !this.doScale;
          for (int i = 0; i < IMAGES; i++)
               ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon(i + ".gif");
               if (this.doScale)
                    image = new ImageIcon(image.getImage().getScaledInstance(180, 180, Image.SCALE_AREA_AVERAGING));
               image.setImageObserver(this.buttons);
               this.buttons[i].setIcon(image);
               this.buttons[i].setSelectedIcon(image);
               this.buttons[i].setDisabledIcon(image);
               this.buttons[i].setDisabledSelectedIcon(image);
               this.buttons[i].setRolloverIcon(image);
               this.buttons[i].setRolloverSelectedIcon(image);
               this.buttons[i].setPressedIcon(image);

When you press the "Toggle scaling"button it switches between unresized (properly working) and resized instances of three of my gif images. Notice that the left image almost never appears, the middle image always, and the right image most of the time. The right image seems to (almost) never animate. When you click on the left image (when visble) it disappears only when the backend is updating the animation (between those two frames with a long delay)
Why are the original ImageIcon and the resized ImageIcon behaving differently? Are they differently organized internally?
Is there any chance my way of resizing might be wrong?

It does work, however I refuse to use SCALE_REPLICATE for my application because resizing images is butt ugly, whether scaling up or down. Could there be a clue in the rescaling implementations, which I can override?
Maybe is there a way that I can check if an image is a multi-frame animation and set the scaling algorithm accordingly?

Animated gif does not work in spry region

Trying to display an animated gif while xml file is loading.
The gif displays while loading but does not animate in the spry region.
<div spry:region="dslistings">
<div id="loadXML" spry:state= "loading"><img src="loadinganimated.gif"/></div>
<div spry:state="ready" </div>
Thank you in advance for any help.
Jeff

I believe you are correct, I tried to place the same animated gif outside of the spry region
and it also did not animate until the xml (approximately 500 records) loaded and completed displaying.
Once the xml loaded, the gif outside of the spry region started to animate.
So how then could you display some sort of animated loading indication?
Thank you
jeff

Animated gif do not work properly on N85

I bought recently an N85 and downloaded some animated gif pictures and they do not run fluently as they should. The SAME gifs work great on both the E51 and 5700. What is the problem with the new photo viewer in N85?
Another issue I have with the photo viewer is that I transfered 50 photos to the memory (Sandisk micro SDHC Ultra 8gb class 6) and when I browse the photos its very slow and some pictures are pixely for a long time when viewing them.

So, it is a general problem in iOS 8.x.x
Awesome....
So I got a ridiculous slow ipad 3 with lots of glitches and not working multigestures.
Is this the the uncomparable user experience which Tim Cook is talking about?

.swf file will work in Internet explorer but no other browser

my issue is that i have an .swf file that i loaded to the remote side of the server on the net, and when i try the link, the link appears to work, yet the flash movie will only play in Internet Explorer and no other browser. Why will this not play?
All my other flash bideos are loaded as .swf files as well and work perfectly. The only thing i can think of personally is we purchased a flash animation ( the ribbons you see falling ) and that may hvae some conflict issues in the coding, but all in all i dont see that being a problem when being published as an .swf file. I have made sure that my publish settings are the same as all my other movies, but still can not figure out why this one and only movie will not work, please help.
http://www.unicefusaecards.org/proofing/new_year_confetti3/ is the link to the flash animation the i am needing help with.

I just opened the webpages through Firefox and while on the page Firefox did not change I hit control F5 and it changed the page. Thank you so much. It is now up to date on my computer also.

Editing an animated gif file

Hi experts,
I have an animated gif file that works in my Dreamweaver website. However, I edited the gif file in Photoshop, changing the image and canvas sizes. When I save it (as a gif), only the top layer is retained, and it's no longer an animation. How can I save the edited file and keep it as an animation that will work on my web page?
Many thanks for hints
Richard

What version of PS are you running? In CS4, 5 and 5.5 (not sure on the others) you simply just open the .gif. It should be in layers - one layer for each frame. You will then need to open the animation panel before making any modifications. If you don't, it will change each frame to the current.
You can't use save as. You need to use save as web or devices then make sure it's a gif and ensure the frames indicator says more than 1. You can then use the play/forward buttons to make sure it looks as you expect.

Animated .gif files in Captivate - why doesn't it work?

OS: XP
Captivate Version: 3
I was e-mailed an animated .gif that I want to use in a project I'm working on.
I saved the .gif to a drive. I then clicked Insert - Animation and selected it. I received a message stating This is not an animated GIF file or file in use. If I click Insert - Image, it brings in the image but the file is not animated.
Just for testing purposes, I moved the .gif file by itself on to the web server. When I access it through Internet Explorer on the web server, it works.
How do I get the file to animate in Captivate?
Your help is appreciated. Thanks.

I wasn't able to open your GIF animation in Photoshop and nothing appeared in Captivate when I inserted it -- the same experience that you had. I tried an experiment with a very simple GIF animation that I created from scratch in Photoshop CS4. When I tried to insert this simple animation into Captivate 4, a message appeared that Captivate was converting. It never finished converting and eventually hung Captivate and had to force it to quit.
Since Lilybiri is able to insert Photoshop animated GIFs into Captivate without any problems, it may be that there are some version incompatibilities. It would be interesting to know which versions of Photoshop and Captivate Lilybiri is using and which versions you are using. It would also be interesting to know if Lilybiri is using transparency in the GIF, and which settings are being used when saving the GIF.

Edited gif file will work in a viewer, but not in email client

An animated gif file received in my email client, after editing will not work in the same email client, but is working properly in a browser. Further, the background in the altered gif is black in the email client instead of the non-pixelated file that was "saved for web."
I had received thsi working gif file and made changes to send the altered animation back, wherin I encountered this quirky littel issue.
Anyone had this problem or have answers to what's going on here?

Hi Ozkarleo,
Please post more information to make your question clear. What’s the type of project you are using? Universal app? Windows phone silverlight app?
The Sqlite libraries in runtime project are different with those in WinForm. But you have not mentioned what libraries you are using in runtime, so I assume you are using this common ones.
Sqlite for windows 8.1
https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/1d04f82f-2fe9-4727-a2f9-a2db127ddc9a.
Sqlite for windows phone 8.1
https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/5d97faf6-39e3-4048-a0bc-adde2af75d1b.
One thing important you need note is that we have no access to the entire file system in runtime app, copy the file to local storage then use it.
A good sample you can get started with it. Get it form MSDN code gallery.

If you cannot make it working, please post more information about your scenario.

How to edit a Animated Gif file and convert to SWF

I am using the creative cloud with fireworks. I chose the free trial with buying in mind if I saw it work properly. I simply want to upload an animated GIF file and then download it as a SWF file. I saw someone on youtube do this and it's not that if I get on the correct page I would not know how to do that but I just cannot find how to get the GIF into the software to edit. It has just simply put them in the creative cloud folder which can open them on IE> How do i make it available to edit and convert to SWF please? Thanks in advance.

Animated .gif files

I have been using an older version of Photoshop Elements for a long time but just got a new MacPro and decided it's time to upgrade my PSE. But maybe not....I downloaded the Photoshop Elements Trial version to check out if it's really worth upgrading or not and I think I'm in trouble. I have a ton of animated .gif files and they do not appear to open in the familiar "layers". i read through some of these discussion threads and I think you're saying that if I use the current version of Photoshop Elements I will not be able to edit my old .gif files. I did try making new layered files and save them for the web with animation and that seemed to work. But if I'm going to lose the ability to edit my old .gif files I'm not sure I want to upgrade.
Can someone clarify this for me please. Maybe it's just a matter of switching from Elements to CS4, but I thought from the descriptions of the programs as provided in the Products section that I fit more with the Elements program.....maybe not????
And this does not even consider that I haven't tried to load my older version on the new intel machine yet, it may not even run if I try that.
I do, for about 20% of my computing time use "that other" platform, but I don't like it, I much prefer my wonderful Mac machines.
thanks for your help
Leigh

Thank you for your offer, I do appreciae it. But I think the better question to ask at this point is : What is the last version of Photoshop Elements that supports editing animated gif files. This is too important to me to lose this ability and after checking further I see CS4 is out of my price and needed features range. I would rather hang on to my old laptop to manipulate photos than lose the ability to edit my .gif files.
Can anybody help with this question?

Animated Gif files in Captivate

I have created an animated GIF file in Photoshop that i want to use in my captivate file.
The file wont preview in any of the preview modes other than the HTML5 output preview. All other previews just show the first frame of the GIF file.
If i chose to SWAP the animation with another GIF from the library the preview shows the animation playing.. see attached
Is there something im doing wrong here.
I guess i could upload my final file to the LMS with HTML5 output as this preview shows the animation but i also read there are limitations with this output as some transitions / effects dont work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Darren

Hi Darren,
Yes, you can verify whether your GIF would fucntion correctly on HTML5 platform by Window--HTML5 Tracker Pod.
I am not an expert on Photoshop, but still would like to make a recommendation.
Set the 'delay' value for each of your Frame to 0.01 or some value if it shows as 0, this can be done using the animation frame Window. Save it as GIF again for Web Devices and import in Captivate, see, if you are abale to preview this time.
Thanks,
Anjaneai

Is it possible and how to open animated gif files in Photoshop CS4

I made a Google search and I found tips that Photoshop can open frames from animated gif files by using File->Import->Video Frames to Layers. But this menu is missing from Photoshop CS4 on the computer I'm using it. Searching this forum for "Import animated gif" didn't return any result. Any ideas?

Zeno
curt y, sorry for the late reply, I tried that but I doesn't work. I have to choose at least two files in the Load Layers window in order for the OK button to be available and then some action script uses the different files to make layers and merges them but not from the frames of the gif file. I can undo through the script to see what it did but it never accessed the frames of the gif file, just the first frame. Choosing "make frames from layers" in the animation palette only puts the original files into layers - that is only the first frame of the gif file.
I guess I'm out of luck with the 64 bit version of Photoshop as Zeno suggested :-(
What program would you people suggest for opening each frame from gif files?
