How to add Animated GIF to an iWeb '11 page?

Trying to take our existing website (not created in iWeb) and recreate in iWeb. Have an animated GIF on our home page. When I try to drag the GIF to the iWeb page, it's no longer animated. And when I publish, again it's no longer animated. I need help.

It should play. Publish you site to a folder on the hard drive and open it locally to see if it plays there.
What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?
Make sure there's no object under the gif file. I found trying to put an image behind it would kill the gif and require me to remove the give and add it again to the page. They seem to be a little picky.

How to add javafx image project in my jsp page ?

how to add javafx image project in my jsp page ?

Create your JavaFX application as an Applet... then embed the applet object inside your html. I'm sure if you create a javafx netbeans project and hit build... you get a html file that shows you how to load the built binary output into the page.

How can I add animated gifs to a slideshow?

I want to put some animations into my slideshows.
I want to add in animated gifs. I can do this with Videowave (Roxio). Can I do the same thing with elements 8?

Double click on the photo in the thumbnail tray at the top to get into the edit mode. There Control (right) - click on the image and select Duplicate from the contextual menu.
Go back to the slideshow mode and there will be two copies of the photo in the tray which you can place wherever you want.

How to get animated gifs or jpgs to work

thanks for reading!
how do you get animated gifs or jpgs to work in iweb? i have a few that i made and worked when i had the old site up. but under iweb they wont, if you go to
my site use my username as the domain. www.myusername.com you will see a open 24hr sign that s animated but wont work in iweb, also thier is a little gif of a radio at the buttom the dials move and the numbers change, under i web they dont work why?
thank for reading this

Not sure exactly what is happening over there on your end. Animated GIFs can be drag and dropped into iWeb, no problem. Inside iWeb when you drop them onto your page, YOU WILL NOT SEE THEM ANIMATE. You may even see them show up with a QT controller bar underneath them. But don't worry....once you publish your page, the GIF will be animated and the controller bar will disappear. Just try it!

How to include Animated GIF-s?

Can animated gifs be included in a LabVIEW VI front

Go to www.jcomsoft.com and download and install the activex control for gif
animation - there is a free trial version, if you want to get rid of the
annoying registration mesages, you have to register.
then run labview and place a activex container on the frontpanel.
right click and select insert activex control
select the gif animation control
then right click on the container (with the gif control inserted) and select
properties.
A window opens allowing you to select which file you want to animate,
amongst other things
click ok and its done.
well, it worked for me anyway. Its really easy once you have the activex
gif animation control.
Cheers

How to open animated .GIF files in Photoshop CS3 and newer

Q: Since ImageReady is long gone from Photoshop, how can I open animated GIF files in Photoshop CS3 and newer?
A: File -> import-> video to layers.
In the dialogue box type "*.*" to show all file types.
Select your GIF file and which frames to import.
They will now be available in your animation palette.

curt y, sorry for the late reply, I tried that but I doesn't work. I have to choose at least two files in the Load Layers window in order for the OK button to be available and then some action script uses the different files to make layers and merges them but not from the frames of the gif file. I can undo through the script to see what it did but it never accessed the frames of the gif file, just the first frame. Choosing "make frames from layers" in the animation palette only puts the original files into layers - that is only the first frame of the gif file.
I guess I'm out of luck with the 64 bit version of Photoshop as Zeno suggested :-(
What program would you people suggest for opening each frame from gif files?

Add animated gif to JFrame toolbar in place of default coffee cup

Hi,
I am sorry if someone has already asked this question. I have searched the forums but only found aswers relating to adding static images to replace the default coffee cup. Is it possible to replace this image with an animated gif? When I add an animated gif with the following code:
URL imageUrl = myProgram.class.getResource("image.gif");
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(imageUrl);
JFrame frame = new myProgramFrame();
frame.setIconImage(icon.getImage());
I am loading the image from an executable jar.
The program fails to load (but produces no errors).
Thank you for any help you can offer.

Hmmm ... intrestin, I've just modified a *.gif file of my own to make the icon animated and 'java MyProgram' just hangs at the command line -so, I guess you're stuffed with it. I can't think of a workaround either, sorry

How To Resize Animated GIF's All At Once?

I have seen people say you can resize an animated GIF in
Fireworks without doing it one frame at a time, but nobody says
exactly how. Maybe I'm missing something simple, but is this
possibe and if so, how do you do it?
I tried using the forum search but it didn't find any
results.
I'm using Fireworks 9.0.1.1213 if that makes a
difference.

If you look in the frames window, you will see that each
frame has a gray
box on the left. Click that gray box by the first frame and
the last frame
to turn on onion skinning. You'll know if it worked because
there will be
two little icons, one pointing up and the other pointing
down, with a line
connecting them through all the onion skinned frames.

How to Make Animated GIF from Layer Comps?

Have CS3 on XP.
I have 15 Layer Comps created the way I like them...How do I make an Animated Gif or animated PNG from the Layer Comps?
Id Like Each Layer of the animation to be one of the Layer Comps... so it shows the progression of the frames built from 1st to last.
Thanks
Suzzie

I'm not sure off hand since I rarely ever have used layer comps, but I believe you need to flatten them before being able to use them in an animation...

Why don't apple add animated gifs support on their products

It's so annoying that their products still don't support animated gifs it will be great if they added this feature. And it will be great if they add Bluetooth file share.

Apple is not here. This is a user to user technical support forum. If you would like to share your thoughts with Apple, please do so here:

How to export animated gif with transparent background and glow effect?

I've been having issues lately with creating animated gifs in flash. I finally figured out a way to export a gif with a transparent background but I'm now having an issue with it again because I'm using a glow effect. When the gif is exported the glow effect changes into a very poor quality and becomes less of a glow and more like a solid color. I've even exported a png sequence from flash and put it into photoshop then created a gif from there but I'm still having the same issue. Is there anyway I can properly export this in gif form so the quality is the same as when I test it in flash?
I've provided an image of what my issue looks like and the settings (I've messed around with the settings and this is the best I can come up with) . This is in photoshop but the result is similar in flash. The left one is what it originally looks like and the right is what it will look like after exporting. As you can see as I said before the glow changes into more of a solid color kind of like a border. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

A GIF is limited to 256 colors while a glow effect likely wants to tie up thousands (let's just say 'lots') of variations of tone.

Is it possible and how to open animated gif files in Photoshop CS4

I made a Google search and I found tips that Photoshop can open frames from animated gif files by using File->Import->Video Frames to Layers. But this menu is missing from Photoshop CS4 on the computer I'm using it. Searching this forum for "Import animated gif" didn't return any result. Any ideas?
