Animated Gif/movie not following build order

Animated Gif/movies do not build in proper order.
For example, I have an animated clock that is suppose to come in as Build No 29
and run. However, it loads as though it is Build item No 1.
It does run at the proper time in the build.
Must I hide it with color or other tricks. The problem is it shows immediately as the
slide builds and looks hideous.

Never-mind. I have it working properly now.

Animated Gif Movie

Hi !
I have a question. Can somebody tell me how I can create an animated gif movie in photoshop ?

Animated gif is not moving in the FireFox 3.6.3 ?

why animated gif is not moving in FireFox 3.6.3 ?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Same problem in save mode. An animated gif will not start. No offending plugins or themes are installed.
But if I right-click on the animation and then on "Grafik-Info anzeigen" (maybe "show grafic info") then as soon as the info window starts the animation, it is also started in the browser!
And this error does not happen on all machines. My Win7 64bit does it right. My XP 32bit (freshly updated) freezes the animation. Weird world.

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 ..

Publishing to an animated gif does not seem to work properly

I want to export a portion of my .fla movie clip into an animated .gif (the logo part). So I changed the publish settings to output to .gif. and made sure the 'animated' box was checked. When I publish, it does output to a .gif file, but it is not animated at all and the colors are not correct which makes the text unreadable. It almost seems like it's outputted a single frame of the movie. It definitely does not look like a proper output. When I change the output back to .swf and publish, it turns out just fine and it's animated with all the desired effects. Does anyone have any idea why this is?
I would hate to have to find a program to convert my .swf to .gif. If I have to do that, does anyone recommend a good program for it?

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

Cursor selection does not follow chapter order on sub-menu

I used iMovieHD6 to add chapter markers to my large DVD project. They "shared" very nicely into iDVD8 and the Chapter Selection sub-menus were created nicely.
The problem is that when I use the cursor arrows on the DVD remote (real or virtual, in or out of iDVD), the highlight jumps around the sub-menu items rather than moving in a logical order. For example, I have 4 sub-menus with 6 chapters in each. Let's use numbers for them starting with the upper left they are 1,2,3 and then at the lower left they begin 4,5,6. I am using the Reflection White theme. When I press the right remote cursor button it will move from 1 to 2 to 5 to 6 to 3 to 4 and back to 1. Note that this order is not the same for each sub-menu, but none of them go 1,2,3,4,5,6.
I don't know what might be wrong or how to correct it, but I have a really big project that is otherwise perfect and I'd really like to get it out, please help!
Thanks.

I just wanted to add this before closing this topic.
After poking around with the Reflection theme I better understood what Len was talking about. It appears that there are no modifiable parameters in the theme itself that control the order of cursor's motion through the buttons. That I assume is hard-coded into iDVD and follows a pre-programmed logic.
The point of failure is the position and orientation of the buttons in the Reflection theme's sub-menus when added automatically. They are made to look to the viewer as though they are set on an angled surface and viewed at an angle from above. While our brains can process this effect nicely, iDVD's cursor logic doesn't fare as well.
The work-around is fairly simple: Realizing that iDVD treats all chapter buttons as though they are two-dimensional objects on a flat surface, you must re-arrange them so that from top-left to bottom-right they follow a logical order, with the first buttons higher and farther left than the later-selected buttons. You don't have to move them very far to get the desired result and it doesn't have to affect the overall appearance of the menu in a noticeable way.
A slight rearrangement in my case left the overall look of the chapter menu the same but yielded a zig-zag flow through the buttons as follows:
[1] [3] [5]
[2] [4] [6]
Pressing the right cursor key jumps from top left to bottom left to top center then bottom center then top right and finally bottom right before going back to the start. Granted this is not quite "right" in that if iDVD could "see" the menu the way my brain does it would go left to right across the upper row of buttons rather than zig-zagging, but I figure that as long as the user can understand how to get to the button they want it'll be fine.
If you really need your menu selection to move linearly left to right with those arrows and with the up/down arrow used to move it vertically, then you have to arrange the buttons on the menu in a rectangular pattern with the top of each row of buttons all in a nice horizontal line. Note that's not the same as the alignment line that Reflection provides for you, it's a true horizontal line in relation to the monitor screen.
I'd much prefer that iDVD revisit the logic of the cursor control code, perhaps adding the choice of allowing the numerical sequence of the chapters to dictate the order of the cursor's motion rather than their relative position on the screen, but since they don't call me for advice, the above will likely have to do.

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);
Download the gif images here:
http://djmadz.com/zombie/0.gif
http://djmadz.com/zombie/1.gif
http://djmadz.com/zombie/2.gif
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 will not stop when placed in director

I have an animated gif I am trying to place into a director
file.
When its placed and I press play it will play the animated
gif over
and over. I also took the gif and saved it as a swf file
placed it in
director it does the same thing. Please tell me what I am
missing.
Also I will show the dir file if you need to see it.

Oops - wrong button - didn't mean to send that yet...
anyway...
You don't have much control over Animated Gif members in
Director. You
can use
sprite(animGifSprite).pause()
to stop the animation and
sprite(animGifSprite).resume()
to restart it. The tricky bit is knowing when to do those
things.
There is no way I know of to find out if the sprite is at the
end of
it's image sequence.
Perhaps a better way of going about it would be to take the
animation
apart into individual frames and load them into a swf member
(in Flash)
or a Film Loop in Director. You may have more control over
the
animation that way.
The fact that it keeps repeating over and over again is sort
of the
point of an animated gif... though I believe that you can
make an
animated gif that specifically does not loop back to the
start using
ImageReady or the newer version of Photoshop. Though I have
not tried
this...

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?

Gifting a playlist does not follow play order or gift all songs

Trying to gift a playlist and had 2 major problems-
1.Each time I click arrow on my playlist to'give playlist' iTunes changes the play order when it transfers to the store for purchase. Each time it sorts in a completely different order. I can't drag the playlist songs when it's transferred to the store. Is there no control for the play order of a gifted playlist?
2.Drops one song from my list even though I added it straight from iTunes as a purchasable single.

Hi leezack,
Have you tried resetting your iPod? To reset an iPod:
First, toggle your iPod's "Hold" switch back and forth a couple of times.
Then, press and hold the Menu and Select (center) buttons together for 5-10 seconds.
If several attempts at resetting your iPod don't help with the issue, then I would agree with what you're considering doing - a restore oftentimes fixes playback issues with iPods, so that's probably the next step to try.
Does this happen with any songs you put on your iPod (like ones that you've imported from CDs), or does your iPod only tend to have issues with playing your iTunes Store purchases?

Animated gif not moving, image.animation_mode already set to Normal

''dupe of - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/932846 - locking''
With image.animation_mode already set to Normal, animated gif are not moving, it seems only the first frame is downloaded. I tried downloading the image, it also seems that only the first frame is downloaded. Then I disabled all extensions, the problem persists. Then I use a whole new profile, there seems to be no problem.
The question is, is there another hidden settings in firefox which cause this trouble? I do not want to start a new profile just because of this. (It also happens in Firefox version 13)

Do you see the animation if you check the image in Tools > Page Info > Media or open the image directly in a tab?
Some security software (firewall) can block animated images and send a normal image instead, so can try to check the advanced settings for Firefox in the firewall if the problem isn't in Firefox.
