Hotspots For Animated Gif

I'm not sure if you're able to do this, but I'd like to
create an animated gif with 7 different frames. I'd like to have a
different URL hotspot on each frame to go to seven different web
addresses (one web address per frame). Can I do this? If so, please
explain how.
Thanks in advance.

It can be done in Flash but not in Fireworks.

  • Is there support for animated .gif files?

    Is there support for animated gif files using
    form builder? I can't get it to work.
    Thanks
    Sean
    I am using forms 6.0

    She used the Link Tool, specfied 'Image URL' as the Source File Format and the url of the animated GIF in the Source Filename. Hope that helps.
    Makes sense but the form is not for the web.
    I have looked at doing it with timers and switching canvases, but that is just too much
    for sloppy animation. It's just not tight enough.

  • App for animated .gif files?

    I've searched till I'm blue in the face and before it turns red, is there and APP that can upload moving .gif files/pics from your Mac to a folder in the iPhone 3G(S)? When you sync a moving pic or file form iTunes to your iPhone in one of its photo/picture folders, of course the .gif doesn't move but is still. Is there an APP that will view these moving .gif's which allows them to move as they were intended or created?

  • Embedded hotspots on animated gif

    Hi Guys,
    I'm wondering if it is possible to create multiple hotspots
    on an animated gif that are embedded in the gif file itself,
    instead of adding additional HTML to my page.
    Thanks

    "Hotspots" are an HTML construction, not something that is
    embedded in the
    pixels of an image. So, no, you cannot. Furthermore, you can
    only have
    multiple hotspots on the entire animation, not unique ones on
    unique frames
    of the animation.
    What is it you are trying to do?

  • Hotspot on animated gif

    How do I create a hotspot on the last frame of an animated gif that only plays once. When it is finished I want to be able to click on it to load another page.

    You can try this:
    Stick this in the header area of your code
    <script type="text/javascript"> function showBuyLink() {
    document.getElementById("buylink").style.visibility = "visible";
    } // adjust this as needed, 1 sec = 1000
    setTimeout("showBuyLink()", 5000);
    </script>
    Stick this around your buy link code.
    <div id="buylink" style="visibility: hidden"> <!-- put all your add to cart buy links and images inside this hidden div --> <p style="text-align:center; font-size:26px;"> <a href="http://mybuylink">Add to Cart or Buy Link</a> </p> </div>
    Yopu can rename "buylink", but you have to make sure you rename all instances or it will kill the script.
    If you're not comfortable incorporating that, unfortunately, the other option would be to create a Flash animation and put a button in the last frame.
    That would be just as difficult (if not worse) as writing (or tweaking) a javascript to delay the hotspot, and even worse because it would be invisible to phone users. Additionally, people who disable javascript would never see the link if you did add the script.
    There isn't any way to do this with HTML or CSS, and you now know the flaws with the methods that will work.

  • Applet Parameters For Animated Gif Using AWT

    I need to have my applet except parameters to change from one type of animated gif (dog) to another animated gif (cat). There are two for each animal. If the animal parameter is "dog" the dog1.gif and the dog2.gif will be used for the animation. I'm not too sure on how to go about this.
    private String sDog;
    private String sCat;
    sDog = getParameter("");
    if (sDog.equalsIgnoreCase("dog"))
    How do I add both gifs in the control statement?
    Thanks so much,
    Jeff

    private String sDog;
    private String sCat;
    sDog = getParameter("dog");
    for(int i=1;i<3;i++){

    remember your parameter should be <b>dog</b>

  • AS3 Scripting for Animated GIF

    Hi,
    I am trying to create an animated GIF for a white noise animation (needed for those viewers who don't have access to a Flash player). The SWF version runs perfectly. Currently, all of the AS3 for the bitmapData.noise and bitmapData.palettemap script is in the first keyframe. So, when I export as an animated GIF, I get a white screen in playback.
    I think the problem for the animated GIF is that there are no frames past the first frame. But, I am not sure how to add frames or re-write the AS3 to get a 30 second animated GIF? I tried duplicating the first keyframe into several new keyframes and get error messages. I would appreciate any help.
    Here's the AS3 in the first keyframe that works well for a SWF (previous relevant thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/734335?tstart=0):
    var array:Array=new Array();
    for (var i:uint = 0; i < 255; i++) {
    array[i] = 0xffffff * (i % 2);
    var _bitmapData:BitmapData;
    var bDHolder:Sprite = new Sprite();
    _bitmapData = new BitmapData(stage.stageWidth/4, stage.stageHeight/4);
    bDHolder.addChild(new Bitmap(_bitmapData));
    bDHolder.scaleX = bDHolder.scaleY = 4;
    addChild(bDHolder);
    addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onSpriteEnterFrame);
    function makeNoise():void {
                _bitmapData.noise(getTimer(), 100, 255, 7, true);
                _bitmapData.paletteMap(_bitmapData, _bitmapData.rect, new Point(0,0), array, array,array);
    function onSpriteEnterFrame(event:Event):void {
                makeNoise();
    var itsNoisy:Boolean = true;
    stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, manageNoise);
    function manageNoise(evt:MouseEvent):void {
         if(itsNoisy){
             removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onSpriteEnterFrame)
         } else {
             addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onSpriteEnterFrame)
         itsNoisy = !itsNoisy;

  • Cannot change delay time for animated GIFs

    I just got PSE 6.0 for Mac, and I've slowly been learning how to do what I'd like to with it. I've noticed that there have been some problems with the program, though, such as sudden lockups that make me force-quit. One of my more serious issues involves making adjustments to the delay time in some simple, animated GIF files that I have been working on, using the Save For Web command. For some reason, I can't change the delay time from its default of 0.2 seconds to anything else; the slider doesn't respond when I click on it, nor can I make any direct adjustments in the field itself. In the end, I'm stuck with just that 0.2-second delay. Is this a bug in the program, or am I just missing something?
    If this helps, I have created a set of animated GIFs with two layers/frames apiece, looping continuously. The second and topmost layer is asigned a Dissolve filter, and usually left at 100% opacity when I make the final adjustments. The workspace background for each is transparent when I begin.
    Oh, also, I am using PSE on an Intel iMac with OS 10.5.6, with 2GB RAM and enough hard drive space to fit everything.

    Unfortunately, this is a known bug in PSE 6 for mac:

  • Settings help needed for animated GIF

    I have a simple black and white JPEG of 4 umbrellas. My goal is to create a 5 frame animated GIF that shows no colors in the 1st frame, then frame 2 shows the left most umbrella tinted yellow, then frame 3 shows the next umbrella tinted green, etc.
    I used the smart brush tool to add color tint to each umbrella, one layer at a time. Each color addition created an adjustment layer which I merged down into a "real" layer. When I go to "Save for web", I can only get 2 layers to work in an animation regardless of how small a file I create. When I attempt putting the 3rd layer in, I get an error message saying it is too big and I need to either reduce the number of layers (I only have 5 at most) or reduce the image size (I've tried as low as 10 pixels width by 5 pixels height - extremely low and using only 8 colors). Can anyone tell me what "magic settings" I may need to apply in the image size section, etc, to make this thing work?

    Ok, I figured it out. Apparently you need to reduce the size of the image before you send it to "Save for Web". When I reduced it from 2828 pixels wide to 400 pixels wide by 120 height (a workable size for my project), and then sent it to Save for Web, it all worked fine. I guess you can't rely on the "New Size" in the Save for Web screen to do the job - bummer.

  • Will there ever be a fix for Animated Gifs  OS 10.5.8

    I realize this extremely stupid bug which has/had been around for many years was apparently fixed in 10.6, but that upgrade is simply not an option for me (as, 10.6 will not install on this machine.)
    the problem is very well known (and many years old): loading a simple animated gif, even very small files, causes Safari to beachball while the gif is downloading (this can take over a minute even for a file under 250k). it should be almost instant (like it is in Firefox)
    this was never a problem using older OS and older versions of Safari (even very large animated gifs loaded very quickly and did not affect system performance.)
    this problem does not exist (and never did exist) in Firefox. i can load animated gif as expected, and very quickly under firefox.
    why did apple refuse to fix this? why do they continue to refuse? it worked fine, and then apple broke it. and it seems like they are leaving it broken on purpose.

    HI,
    Empty the Safari Cache from the Safari Menu Bar more often.
    Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
    Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.

  • Backgrounds for Animated Gifs

    First let me say I am new to Captivate. I think it is an
    awesome tool in creating CBT's. Here's my problem. I have an
    animated .gif file it is small (only 96.0KB) I created it in Adobe
    Image Ready... I want to import it into captivate and use it as a
    navigation icon. The problem is the animation appears fine but
    there is a black background? I can't get rid of the background. Any
    ideas? Suggestion to do it differantly? PLEASE HELP!!

    Keep in mind that when animated GIFs are brought into
    Captivate, they are converted to SWF format, so you are ultimately
    looking at a Flash animation, not a GIF animation.
    The black background is a common occurrence, and in my
    opinion is caused by timing issues with the original animated GIF.
    Try experimenting with changes to the original GIFs properties,
    specifically the frame rate, and overall time for display. Also be
    sure that the "background" of the GIF is a solid (transparent)
    color.
    Good luck - and
    welcome to the Captivate User Community!

  • Animated GIF - Fastest frame rate?

    I am trying to create a sort of lightning effect and would like to flip through three or four frames super quickly (for the flash effect).
    Problem is that in my animation settings, even if i set the frame duration to 1/100, the frames still show for like half a second each. Really does NOT come off like a lightning strike...
    Is there some sort of trick to making the frames flip faster?
    Or maybe a limitation on animated GIFs that I am not aware of?
    On a side note, would Flash be a better tool for animated GIFs?

    Are you using photographs in the animation? Is the animation large (what are its dimensions)? If yes. it could be the complexity of the image causing the delay. The more complex the image, the longer it takes the browser to render it. GIF animations should be small and the imaes it contains posterlike vector images. Flash might be the best program to use for your animation.
