Animated Gifs in iWeb: Do they work?

Do animated GIFs work in iWeb?
If so, how do you get them in there without iWeb turning them to PNGs?

Bonjour,
Yes, they work.
Drag and drop an animated gif to iWeb.
publish
In this [page|http://iweb.debutersurmac.com/siteiweb/Blog/Entrees/2009/3/4iWeb_09_et_lesimages.html] i have an gif (panda)
Now you have a .mov file. But it isn't an movie : it isn't a file that quicktime can read...
In source code, HTML tags are those used for an image.
img src="../../../../Media/roulade-1.mov" alt="" style="height: 94px; position: relative; width: 99px; " class="inline-block"
And if you drag and drop if from your browser to desktop, you'll have an .gif file (roulade-1.mov.gif).

Animated gif in IWeb?

I am trying to add an animated GIF to my site. I downloaded a program called "pixen", and it seems easy enough to use. However, it doesn't seem to work.
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm just looking to be able to add some scrolling text.
Thanks!
Kim

The program "pixen", gives you the option to export as a QT movie, or export to "image sequence". When I export to "image sequence", it just saves the three different frames as .gif files. When I export to a QT movie, and then add that to my site, publish to a folder - it plays as a QT movie.
This may be a problem with the particular program, and not IWeb..
Just wondering if there is a program that you would recommend?
Thanks, as always, for your help!

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

Animated gif on JButton is not working

Hi all,
I have a JButton, which is used as a 'search button'. I want my search button to show an animated globe gif when search is going on. I have my code as below.
JButton searchButton = new JButton(MyUtilities.searchIcon());
ImageIcon animatedGlobe = MyUtilities.animatedGlobeGif();
searchButton.setPressedIcon(animatedGlobe );
At runtime the button is showing a static globe which is not animating.
Can any one please answer what could be the problem?
Thanks in advance,
amar

Thanx Demanic ,
I am doing swings for first time. Can you please tell me how to repaint the button using seperate thread?
Thanks,
amar

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 GIFS lose transparency in iWeb 08

Hi All
I am using iWeb 08 (2.0.4) and Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11. When I try to place a transparent animated GIF in iWeb, it looses the tranparent background and shows up with a horrible white background. Does anyone have the solution to this problem?

Hi AllAboutiWeb,
Only in iWeb 08. I haven't tried to publish the site yet. Also, I will not be hosting the site at mac.com or me.com. Instead, I will publish to disk and upload the site to my hosting service.
I created the animated gif in Adobe ImageReady 7.0 and it works well (transparency included) in Safari and Firefox when I drag the animated gif to a browser window.

Is there a trick for iweb? or is there something in Safari that I need to set?

Animated Gif Repaint

I knew I was going to end up here eventually, stupid animated gifs.
First of all, I get weird drawing artifacts on an animated gif on jkd 1.5, I upped this to 1.6 and everything is cool with displaying the gif. It could be because I'm running JBuilder in a XP VM. I don't really care how to fix this, or if its even fixable, I'm just pointing it out.
I have an animated gif in an imageicon. The program is hangman, and the gif shows a stick figure walking up onto the podium to get hung. I would like to play the gif once, every time the "New Game" button is clicked. I have tried a variety of things to do so, including JLabel1.repaint(); calling the label again, etc, etc. I'll try to post the relevant bits of my code.
public class HangFrame
    extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
public HangFrame()
    try {
      jbInit();
    catch (Exception ex) {
      ex.printStackTrace();
}jbinit calls the placement of all the items.
    jLabel1.setBounds(new Rectangle(19, 57, 550, 400));
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    if (e.getSource() == start) {
      start();
....'start' is my name for the button that reads "New Game".
The start method contains:
ImageIcon maingif = new ImageIcon( (ClassLoader.getSystemResource(
        "hang1.gif")));
     jLabel1.setIcon(maingif);
//I've been trying different stuff right here, like repaint.The image displays correctly, and runs once (per the setting I gave it in flash, or thats how java does it).
I've searched extensively (seems I got lucky by just managing to get it to display once :D). I saw that I might have to flush the image or something like that, but I'm not really sure what that means. I've never had any experience with the graphics and paint component, most of the work we do in class is console and algorithm stuff. I got bored over break and made my hangman into a swing app. I'd appreciate any help.
Oh, and sorry if this should be in the swing subforum, I figured my issue was too basic for it.

I'm looking for a page that simply says, take your imageicon and call.... (repaint();) or whatever to make it run one more time.Did you even read the API for ImageIcon! It took me 2 seconds to find the information for animating gifs as imageicons.
Well Java just sucks now doesn't it. Stop using animated gifs and Java since they suck. There, problem solved!I like Java a lot, I'm just saying, in certain instances it seems to fall short.No, YOU fall short. I found the solution in 3 seconds.
This is a "New to Java" subforum, if you can't handle helping people in a pleasant manner, that shows you respect the other person, what do you think people will think of you and java. If I spent more time on forums like this, and was looking at which language to try, I doubt I would pick java.I don't care what you think of me OR Java. I'm tired of noobs wasting forum resources with this crap. Once I was new to everything, but I went to the library and when the internet came along i learned how to search it!
Critical thinking people. Don't we teach this in schools any more?!
When it becomes an Internet joke (http://thedailywtf.com/Articles/plz-email-me-teh-codez.aspx) about how bad the sun forums are, well, you really need to reconsider what you want to do with your life.
LMAO! You are the daily WTF!

Problem exporting as an animated gif

I create animated gifs in Fireworks.
I work on them, save them as a png file and then export as an animated gif.
For some reason, I have followed the same procedure but the file is not exporting correctly export at all or only saves 1 frame.
Also, if I name the file TEST.png, when I go to export I export as TEST.gif however when it is saved to the desktop it reads Page1.gif
??????? I'm really confused.
I have checked all the details in Image Preview and they are all correct.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks

If you haven't done so, try adding a slice around the animation and optimize / export the slice

Animated gifs in keynote for iPad

I realized, in Excel 2011 (Mac) a ppt with links "simple" and I want to incorporate animated GIFs (or videos).
Everything works smoothly on Power Point, however, upon transfer of the Ipad and opening files with Keynote my animated gifs are no longer... animated!
Even if I try to incorporate these gifs directly on the iPad does not work better.
You know how I can fix my problem?
If the gifs can not be borne any video format to use when it is necessary that during the transition from 2011 to ppt Keynote everything works?
In advance thank you
Yo.

Great solution James. As a former university level instructor, it must mean that you're old and out of touch. Gifs are an amazing new form of communication if used correctly. I too am searching for a solution for the same problem as ytomasz.
An"amazing new form of communication"? SERIOUSLY? Animated gifs are as old as the hills and came into being as a stop gap prior to other means of providing web based animation and video became practical. They are strictly amateur hour and are quite unprofessional. Perhaps you could do with a little communication training.

High CPU Consumption when Displaying Animated GIFs

Hi -
Within our application we utilize a lot of the standard AJAX loading icons to indiciate that data is downloading/loading. What we've noticed, however, is that when animated GIFs are being displayed they are consuming between 5 and 8 percent of the CPU. I've confirmed it's definitely the GIF that is causing the CPU usage to increase so dramatically.
Has anyone else experienced this? Do you have work arounds? Does anyone have any idea why performance is so bad on this?
Does using an SWF instead help?
Thanks.

Hello Steve.
Although I'm not really sure what you mean by "content plugins dialogue", you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

Attaching hyperlink to animated gifs

Has anyone been successful with attaching a hyperlink to an animated gif? I'm new to all this and I'm not even sure if this is possible (but it seems reasonable to me). I can drag and drop the animated gif into iWeb, but then the option to make it a hyperlink is not available.

I'm having the same problem. I've tried converting a standard animated gif into a .swf file via GraphicConverter and inserting the .swf into iWeb. But that doesn't work. Also, iWeb adds the QT controller to the bottom of the image, which I don't want to see. Does anybody know how to turn that off too?
Thanks.

I am having major issues importing Animated gif's into Adobe Captivate

Hi everyone
Captivate 7 (64 bit) keeps crashing when i import animate gifs into flash.
It's a serious workflow issue for us as the project requires animated gifs.
I don't have any files to supply for this query as i can't even import gif's into a blank doc.
Has any one found a solution for this issue ?
Adobe ?? Have you got a fix for this bug ?
Thanks in advance
Nick

How were the GIF's created? Which version of 7 do you use, you can see the complete version number under Help, About Captivate.
I have been using animated GIF's in 7, they were created with Photoshop. And I know that each frame in the animation has to have a duration that is not 0secs.
