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:

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 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?

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 ..

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 images not working, n73 problem pleas...

my phone is n73music. when i try to use animated or gif images as wallpapers, the images are not moving as they should do in standby mode on the display. what could be the problem, please advice. thankyou.

Sorry, N73/ME is a s60 phone and s60 doesnt support moving animated GIG, PNG file format as wallpaper

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.

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?

Animated gif won't work in safari

I put an animated gif in iWeb and it runs fine in the site in Windows IE 7 and Firefox 3.5, and on my Mac in Firefox, But you can just see the initial frame in Safari.
Actually I put two on there, the little flag works (has a transparent layer over it to make it clickable), but the bigger one, with 13 layers, does not.
Is there something in Safari that I need to set?
http://www.widman.biz/Corvair/English/English.html

I've been having the same issue. gifs from the web load fine in firefox, but i safari they take forever.
Also I've noticed that a lot of streaming videos that used to stream just fine are now choppy and start and stop due to slow load times.
Any help appreciated.

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.

Gif's not working Properly in Safari

this gif, www.harlemnocturne.ytmnd.com , (worksafe, just turn down speakers) will load for me, but the second half moves extremely slowly. i created that gif, and I know what it should be like, but in safari it doesnt work properly. It loaded and played fine in Internet explorer, but it won't in safari. Other gifs behave this way as well, and its very annoying. I can't remember if this started before the most recent safari patch or not.

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 doesn't work against dark backgrounds in HTML

I've created an animated GIF in Photoshop, exported it for web with transparency, and placed it in my HTML code. It doesn't work against the dark background on my page. However, when I open the image in a new browser tab, voila, the animation works precisely as it should.
Why is the background affecting the animation and how can I work around this?

Hello Frank,
problem is solved.
I have installed IE7 on a Windows 2003 Server Edition and used remote desktop client to test the application.
It seems that either a setting on W2003 or the remote desktop client avoid to see the animation.
On locally installed IE7 animated gif's works fine.

Animated GIF Doesn't Work At All

I am a Web developer. My client has provided us with an animated GIF image for their landing page. This GIF runs fine on every browser except Safari. On Safari, the GIF never animates; it just stays on the opening frame and looks stupid.
This happens on all Macs running OS X and Safari 2.x as well as Beta 3.
I search here and on the Internet and find nobody reporting this issue, but it sure feels like a Safari-specific problem.

Aha! Nice catch. I saw that extension anomaly, too, Kirk, but since the page code doesn't allow one to easily view what's going on behind the scenes, I wondered if the JPEG might be behind or in front of the actual animated GIF and didn't look further. But downloading the "JPEG" and loading it in Safari 3 shows that it is, indeed, the animated GIF... with the incorrect extension.
Yes, I would think being labeled a JPEG is the problem. Safari 2 is probably being stubborn and assuming that since it is supposed to be a JPEG, it can't animate.
(A page with so little actual HTML or text has to be terribly inaccessible and is probably a problem in terms of search engine optimization as well. Just guesses since I don't work in SEO myself, but worth considering.)

Animated gif doesn't work with IE7

Hi,
Jdev 11g, TP4.
I use af:statusIndicator to show activity to the user. If there is communication with the server than gif should be animated.
Therefore I have following skin defined:
af|statusIndicator::idle-icon
content:url("/images/TE_mark_pos_red_rgb_32x32.gif");
af|statusIndicator::processing-icon,
af|statusIndicator::connecting-icon,
af|statusIndicator::reconnecting-icon
content:url("/images/mark_pos_red_rgb_animated_32x32.gif");
}With FireFox 2 this works as expected but with IE7 the gif keeps non-animated.
Same behaviour with splash-screen:
af|document::splash-screen-icon{
content:url("/images/mark_pos_red_rgb_animated.gif");
}Do I need some specific settings in IE7 to show animated gif's?
regards
Peter
