Datagrid using animated gif or flash

I have a datagrid that is using an image control for its item
renderer on one of the columns. That works just fine but I would
like to be able to display an animated image in the datagrid
instead of a static one.
I know flex doesnt support animated gifs but is there any way
I could make it show one in a data grid?
Thanks.

If you are web deployed you can put an animated gif as the image to an iconic button.
Image items cannot display animated gifs.
Anything else you can do through a JavaBean if you need to.

  • Quality problem with animated gif through flash

    i got a problem with making animated gif through flash.
    on html/swf publication it looks clear.
    but the weird thing is through gif publication, it wouldn't show. and exporting it as a movie as gif cause visual defect when put up on web.
    it looks better when you open it in a browser.
    this is how it looks for a profile gif in thumbnail mode. blocky and unclear.
    how do you get it to look good both in thumbnail mode and in browser mode. i seen other that have a clear gif in thumbnail mode.  are my setting wrong for flash? or should i just do gif in photshop instead. i heard rumors flash don't do gif very well.

    Change your gif export setting under publish...
              Dimensions         : Match movie
              Playback             : Animated
                                        : Loop continuously
              Options               : Optimize colors
                                        : Smooth
              Transparent         : Opaque
              Dither                 : None
              Palette Type       : Adaptive

  • Are there any tutorials on making animated gifs in flash, from a video?

    I have an avi video file that i'd like to make into an animated gif in flash. How do I go about doing this? I know there is an option in photoshop where you can import the video frames onto layers. Is there something similar in flash?

    This might provide a bit of insight.

  • Animated Gif, XML & Flash 8

    I created an animated gif in photoshop cs3. I'm opening the
    gif file from inside an xml file using flash 8. It displays the gif
    just fine without the animation. I noticed that when I open the
    same gif file from an html file the browser (IE7) ask permission to
    run activex. Once I give it permission, the animation runs fine.
    When I run it from flash 8, IE7 doesn't ask permission...it just
    displays the gif file without running the animation. Any clues?

    One thing you may want to look at is the way your symbols are being triggered on the timeline. For example: you have an image of a ball bouncing, it goes down then up over the course of 30 frames and you are playing the FLA at 15 FPS so it takes a full two seconds per "bounce". If you are then putting that symbol into another timeline (probably the main timeline) you need to give the instance of that symbol the full 30 frames to go through the bounce before it stops, but if you give it 31 frames or forget to put a stop() command on the last frame, the sequence will repeat before clearing the stage.
    I would look at how you have positioned the object that is being looped in the main timeline and remember that with each keyframe you add to the timeline the animation will restart from the beginning. Imagine the bouncing ball graphic is a video clip of a ball bouncing and not a collection of vectors being repositioned on the stage. Every time you have a keyframe on the symbol of the video on the main timeline, the video restarts and appears to loop. The same may be happening with your animation on the timeline.
    Hope this helps.

  • Animated gif from flash

    CS4, AS3.Windows XP SP3.
    I've created a pretty simple flash animation with some text that fades in and moves around a bit. Nothing fancy. It runs just fine both locally and on my client's site. I need to turn it into an animated gif so that non-flash viewers will see the animation. But I can't seem to get it to come out right. It needs to have a transparent background and it needs to run just once. Like I said, all that runs fine as an SWF.
    When I choose the export option in the file menu (export movie as gif), it does export and I can run the gif but the background is definitely not transparent and the thing loops continuously. Yes, I've checked the "transparent" checkbox and also set the repetitions to 1. Neither of those settings do anything.
    I also tried "publishing" the gif. That's even worse. The resultant animation doesn't even resemble my SWF. It's a blocky mess when it runs. It does appear to have a transparent background but it loops over and over and again it's a blocky mess (not sure how else to explain that).
    The whole thing is just about 10 layers of different lines of text that are tweened in various ways to get the effect I need.
    You can see the animation on the right hand side of this page: www.ssrights.com. It's the one that says "FREE! Consultation..."
    Hope someone can help.
    Thanks,
    Keith
    PS: The gif is not in place. I currently have it set to just show a static image if someone does not have flash.

    Look, I appreciate that you are making an effot to help, but I hope you realize that most pages like that are just there to attract advertisers. They are mostly nonsense. Filled with fluff and little that's actually helpful. Often copied verbatim from the help file of some application. Not the least bit beneficial. There are tons of "how to" sites out there that say next to nothing and still use a lot of words. I run into them countless times each day. It's beyond irritating when you're trying to learn how to do something. This paragraph on that page you referred me to is a perfect example:
    Set other options for your animated GIF publication. Optimize the color  of the GIF to remove unused colors so that the image size will be  reduced. Set "Dither Solids" so that the colors will be mixed in the  current existing palette. Other options you have to set up are  Interlace, Smooth, and Remove Gradients. Set all of them very well so  that your animated GIF will be published at its best quality.
    Just look at the grammar in the last sentense. It doesn't even make sense and offeres zero useful information. Probably came out of the entirely useless Adobe help system that's fond of defining a term with the term itself.
    Back to the GIF settings. I've chosen nearly every combination of settings on the GIF publish tab. Nothing I do works. The only thing that solved the problem (and it's a crummy solution) was to change the text to a broken apart graphic. I'm sure you are more expert in Flash than I am and so you likely know how to solve this. Have you created a simple example with text and successfully published it as a GIF? You don't even need to tween the text. It can be sitting still on it's own layer and it still fouls things up. If so, what settings are you using to make this work right? That inforamtion would be very helpful!
    Again, is there anyone out there that has specifically dealt with this problem and can offer a specific, viable solution?

  • Animated Gif to Flash... Newbie

    Hi all. I'm pretty experienced with using most of Adobe's
    software with the glaring exception of Flash.
    I've been asked to create an animated banner which I have
    done as an animated gif from within PhotoShop. However I'm fairly
    sure this sort of animation would be better created in Flash.
    The animated gif is
    here
    Ive imported the PSD file into Flash CS3 but I'm not doing
    very well at either selecting different layers or indeed moving the
    photo and the text over a certain time span.
    I imagine this sort of thing if easy to anyone with some
    experience.
    Can anyone offer any help on how to do this?
    Also, the animated gif file size is about 150kb. Would the
    flash file be significantly smaller?
    Thanks.

    Let Flash do that for you. First you have to create a symbol
    out of the background image... a graphic symbol will suffice. A
    quick way to do that is to place the image on the stage, right
    click it, and select Convert To Symbol.
    Then, place that symbol in a keyframe. Somewhere down the
    timeline, right click on another keyframe and select Insert
    Keyframe. The symbol should now extend from the first keyframe to
    the one you just added. But for the keyframe you just created,
    physically move the image to the slid over location you intend
    Go back to the first keyframe, right click on it and select
    Create Motion Tween. An arrow should now be joining the two
    keyframes which should have blue-colored frames between them. Run
    the movie.
    For a competent developer, maybe a half hour tops starting
    from scratch... it depends on how much content has to be added to
    the image(s).

  • Using animated gifs  in emails

    I've made an animated gif using flash an am trying to make it
    so the gif appears in my signature at the bottom of every email. I
    can place it in the signature but when I send the email the gif is
    static and doesn't move. Also I'm using a mac and when I recieve an
    animated gif in an email from a PC the gif is also static. I need
    to be able to send animated gifs in emails from PC and Mac using
    Mircosoft Outlook for PC and Entourage for MAC. Any help would be
    much appreciated.
    Cheers,

    this really has nothing to do with flash at all - you have no
    control over this as the recipient of
    your email may not be using an email client that supports
    animated gifs - does your gif work when
    viewed ina web page?
    you must realize there are a myriad ways people check email -
    sometimes via a browser, handheld
    device, email client software, etc...not all support animated
    gifs and the ones that do may have
    that option turned off by user.
    i would consult the support section of the email software
    your recipients use.

  • Possible to Use Animated GIF as Rollover Image?

    Before I spend a lot of time on development...does anyone
    know if it's possible to use an animated GIF as a rollover image in
    Captivate? I'm developing an e-Learning course for a
    Sarbannes-Oxley application, and I want to be able to hover over an
    object, then have a rollover graphic describe the hover target in
    more detail...the catch being that I want the description to look
    like a scrolling stock ticker.
    I'm sure Flash is probably the ideal development environment
    for this idea, but that project is way beyond my Flash skills at
    this point...
    Thanks!

    I know you can load and display a PNG image just the way you do for a GIF/JPEG one :
    ImageIcon myIcon = new ImageIcon("my_icon.png");but I don't think many others formats are recognized by j2se... you can simply try to load a BMP file to find out.

  • Animated Gif over Flash document?

    Hi folks,
    Quick question here ...
    Is it possible to overlay an animated gif on top of a flash banner?
    I have an html page, where I want to re-work our main banner with flash elements, but would like to place our existing animated gif over the right hand part of the background banner.
    Hope that makes sense?
    Kind Regards,
    Cal

    ... thanks Ned! 
    Just knowing that it's possible is encouraging, so I'll be sure to dabble with your suggestion over the festive season, otherwise, I'd have to learn how to combine several flash motions in flash at one time, where that could certainly fry my brain "cell"  lololol
    All the best.

  • Animated GIF in Flash v. Fireworks

    i cannot do this in the cc version .... is ther any other way to do it?

  • Using animated GIF as JButton icon

    Hi,
    I am trying to use an animated gif as an icon in a JButton.
    Everything works as it should except the animation is static!!
    Screenshots and code are at:
    http://www.beammicrosystems.com/Java/JButton.html
    Anyone got any good ideas?
    Regards,
    Andrew

    well i think you can do this in a label you can watch for a animation like you want a gif so my idea is that you should just make the label as a button and them :
    JLabel label = new JLabel();
    label.setIcon = new ImageIcon("name.gif");
    and put it the setBounds
    label.setBounds(x,y,long,tall);
    and if you want that looks like a button just do this
    label.setBorder(BorderFactory.createRaisedBevelBorder());
    thats all.

  • Using animated gif...

    I've encountered a problem in displaying animated gif using java Swing.
    For my program, I need to display 6 animated gif images. Sometimes I would get all those displayed, but sometimes only 1 or few are displayed.

  • Creating an image slideshow as an animated gif in flash

    So before asking anything, let me start off by stating that calling myself an amateur flash user is an understatement (once I animated a circle moving across the screen and became more proud of myself than I should have been...). that being said, I hope I dont cause anyone's brain to explode from my sheer ignorance.
    I've created an animated gif that's supposed to act as a slideshow, so it's a very simple. however, when uploaded to the website we want to display it from, it gets a little wonky and shows an inconsistency that does not show up anywhere else - it runs through the frames just fine, until the very last frame (the 5th slide)... i can't even explain the horrors of this malfunction without providing an example:
    http://www.vflyer.com/home/home/flyer/3083238
    -ps ignore the poor image quality, unless you have any suggestions for improving that as well, I already modified the document to improve the image quality and it came out better that what is shown, but not fantastic.
    any ideas for why this would be happening? I don't know if it's something i did (which is most likely the case) or a glitch with the site itself.

    I would expect that a javascript based slideshow may work as Acrobat supports a form of Javascript. Acrobatusers.com may have some information on the subject.

  • Animated Gifs in Flash? Please help ASAP!

    I made an animated gif in adobe flash, but when I export it as a gif, the quality is ruined. I know there is a way to make high quality gifs in flash, as shown here:
    http://www.trap17.com/index.php/High-Quality-Gif-Images-Flash_t36334.html
    But when I follow those steps and publish it, the gif turns out to be a blank frame. What could be the problem?

    your animation must be on the main timeline.  there should be no animated movieclip placed on the main timeline.
