Problem with animated .gif

I have a problem with animated gifs. So if I set a animated gif as background and a button is over it as in the example below, then everytime the animation goes on the button disappears until I go over it with the mouse. So what can I do to solve this?
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
public class FrameBackImage {
          public static void main(String args []){
               final JFrame frame = new JFrame("Frame");
               frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
               frame.setSize(400, 400);
               frame.setResizable(false);
               frame.setLayout(null);
               java.net.URL imageURL = ImageApp.class.getResource("animatedw.gif");
               ImageIcon imageIcon = new ImageIcon(imageURL);
             final JLabel label = new JLabel(imageIcon);
             label.setBounds(0,0 , 400, 400);
             frame.getLayeredPane().add(label);
             JButton button = new JButton ("Exit");
             button.setBounds(200, 129, 60, 60);
             button.setBackground(Color.black);
             button.setForeground(Color.white);
             frame.add(button);
             button.addActionListener(
             new ActionListener(){
                    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
                         System.exit(0);
             frame.validate();
              frame.setVisible(true);
}

In the future, Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum.
Your usage of the getLayeredPane() method is something I've never seen before, so I don't know if thats the problem or not.
How to display a "background image" is asked all the time in the Swing forum. So to familiarize yourself with the forum you can try searching the Swing forum. Using the keywords I highlighted would be a good place to start.

Transparency problem with animated gif within AJAX overlay

Hello all,
I have designed and animated a loading spinner in Photoshop CS3, which needs to sit within an Ajax overlay, with transparency set to 75.
I tried exporting the spinner as an animated gif with a transparent background (using Save for Web), but it gave the animation a pixelated outside edge. Does anybody know how to remedy this?
As the Ajax overlay is semi-transparent, I tried exporting the animated gif with a black background and transparency set to 75%. I ticked the transparency box in the export window, but once it is loading in the Ajax it doesn't seem to be transparent (see here: http://www.chrisgartside.co.uk/flash/Screenshot.jpg)
Any help is very much appreciated.
Best wishes,
ruth.

I forgot to mention that the Ajax pop-up is fired up from a Flash gaming applet.
Thanks very much in advance.

Animated Gif with large base image & small animated part.

Hello guys
I'm not really sure how to explain that, due to my limited English comprehansion. I will try with images.
I can easily create animated gif out of multiple layers, given each layer is identical, with small changes accuring over time.
But I yet to figure out an animated gif, that uses one large image for the base, and only small part of it is animated.
I always get the animated part working, without the large base applying across all the frames. All it does, is flashes once
the frame is reached and then moves on to being transparent, showing only the small animated part.
For example, this is a GIF made with Galaxy S4, of my friend playing with his phone, imported into PS CS6. On the Galaxy,
after I record the GIF, I can use my finder to touch, mask and freez parts I don't want to move, and leave only small, animated bit.
When I import it to PS, it shows one layer with full image, and bunch of frames with the animation part only.
http://i.imgur.com/UAiopQA.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/7XOGGV6.jpg
Problem is, once the image is open with PS, I'm not able to export it to keep it working in the same manner. Given the Samsung's
gifs are 8 to 10mb, it's hard to edit it, to make it more size friendly.
The gif clearly works the way I describe, so there is a setting or method I don't know about.
If PS is not best tool for editing GIF, what other apps would you recommand I use for it?
Thank you for the taking the time to read
best regards
Monica

This has been an ongoing issue for me since I switched from Powerpoint to Keynote. Most of the animated gifs with transparent backgrounds that I used with Powerpoint are no longer transparent in Keynote. You may want to search for those earlier threads on this topic...
To summarize: I've had to open up my animated gifs in After Effects and use the Color Key effect to restore transparency, with mixed success.
Good luck!

Using animated gifs with transparent background.

Hi guys,
Keynotes 6.2.
I have been onto apple support with this problem.
I add a transparent animated gif to my project.
It show as a movie correctly in the presentation but when exported as quicktime or HTML the movies fail.
We eventually found out that quicktime does not support animated gifs. ( support.apple.com/kb/ht3775 )
So I exported the animation onto a folder with all the frames separately and brought them into final cut pro.
I then followed these tutorials on how to export with transparent background. ( http://provideocoalition.com/mspencer/video/fcp-x-and-alpha-channels and http://www.larryjordan.biz/fcp-export-transparency ).
I now have a quicktime movie that if I bring back into Final Cut Pro it has a transparent background.
However when I bring into keynotes it still has a black background. (presumably keynotes does not recognise the Apple Prores 444).
Any ideas how I can achieve what I need. ?
I am using a program called crazytalk animator and can output with transparent background. Animated Gif or a series of image stills BMP, JPEG, TGA or PNG.
Cheers
SteveW

Animated gif with transparent background

When I import in Keynote an animated gif with transparent background. The background becomes white. I did the following tests:
If I extract a single image from the animated gif and import it in keynote the background is actually transparent but it becomes white when I import the whole gif.
I also checked with other applications (NeoOffice) and the animated gif does come out with a transparent background.
Do I do something wrong in Keynote ?

Help with animated gif messages

I can't seem to get animated GIFS with music as a SMS or a MMS to play. They are sent from people with phones like the Razor, LG, Envy etc. on the same network as mine ( Verizon ). When I get the message it will show the GIF for about 1 second then it dissapears, then the music plays. It will also give me the option to open the attachments or slides but the GIFS don't open . I can get Video messages from anyone and the videos plays fine. In the past when I opened one of these messages it would kill the audio on my phone and I would have to do a hard reboot for my phone to work even though I could still receive SMS and MMS messages, just the audio on the phone died. I was told the new OS 4.5 would correct this. The only thing it fixed was now if I get a animated GIF message it still does not play but my phone does work and I don't have to reboot. Is there a setting I need to change or is this not supported? I have 2 Curves 8330 OS 4.5.0.77 BIS on Verizon with the unlimted BB plan.
Thanks,
Leo

Can someone help me with a very basic guide to animated gif with elements 11?

Hi
I bought Adobe elements 11 and have been trying to do a very basic animated gif with it.I came acroos some instructions about layering,etc but still cannot get it to work. All I want to do is add two of my school photos together so that one suddenly vanishes and the one appears.I am planning to put this on my blog.
The animation I want is the day time picture of teh school magically vanish and the night time picture appear.Can it be done with elements11(I wouldn't mind if someone can even do it for me so that I could deconstruct it later!).I have attached the two photos.Please remember ,my knowledge of phtoshop is abysmal and very very basic.My apologies for that.hence I might be need to be told like a 10-year old!
Please help as I need this fast! Karen.

It’s not possible to fade between gif images but you could sandwich two layers with a black fill layer between them as I have done in this example.
Then use the menu:
File >> Save For Web
Choose gif as the file type, select animate, and set your timing in seconds with continuous loop if required.
Then Save.
PS the images are different sizes so I had to re-size the daylight image to make it the same as the night image.

Is it possible to create an animated GIF with transparency in AME?

I have Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5 with Windows 7. Is it possible to save a video (I saved it as uncompressed AVI from After Effects) as an animated GIF with transparency in it (eg. black=transparent)?
I also have VirtualDub 1.9.11 but don't see a transparency option in that.
It's for the web where I'd like the normal web background to show in the black (ie. should be transparent) parts of the GIF.

Thanks. But if I wanted to keep using it it costs about £600 to buy. Would Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 be able to do this too (also, seeing as there is an animated gif creation option in AME and used to be in AE, couldn't they just add a checkbox etc. for AME/and AE for doing transparent gifs in those if they don't support it? Since transparency is a standard feature of .GIF is seems strange to allow GIF creation but not allow transparency)?

Creating a animated gif with transitions..

Hello all,
I am creating a animated gif with a set number of pics. They will change every couple of seconds transitioning from dark to light very quickly until you see each pic, from picture to picture..
Kind of like something you would see in flicker....
I have not used flash in awhile, so was wondering how to go about this..
Is this a pretty easy thing to do in flash (not to time intensive)?
Is there a particular tool for this?
SInce there is no movement here is this something that I can also create in Dreamweaver?
I would like to place this on a web page I am working on, and I am thinking I could just place it where it needs to go in Fireworks before i bring it into dreamweaver...
Thanks in advance!

You can create an animated gif using Flash, but it will be much simpler in Photoshop or Fireworks. See this technote:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15568.html for the Fireworks solution.

Playing animated GIFs with NetBeans

Well for our Computer Science class we have to make a game.
For our title screen we wanted an animated GIF to play.
I made the animated GIF with Gimp and I am using the NetBeans IDE (I am using the GUI Builder)
I have tried using the image as a JLabel but it didn't work.
I just need it to play the GIF.
Thanks.

Ok sorry I should have posted some code.
Also I got it to work. But I now have a new question.
How do you loop the animation?
Is it possible to layer a JButton on top of the GIF?
And also is it possible to make this part of the code relative?
Like can you make it where it looks through the entire file without a specific path.
AndroidGIF.setIcon(new ImageIcon("C:\\Users\\***********\\Desktop\\android2.gif"));Here is the rest of my code.

        layout.setHorizontalGroup(
            layout.createParallelGroup(GroupLayout.Alignment.LEADING)
            .addGroup(layout.createSequentialGroup()
                .addGap(27, 27, 27)
                .addComponent(AndroidGIF)
                .addContainerGap(41, Short.MAX_VALUE))
        layout.setVerticalGroup(
            layout.createParallelGroup(GroupLayout.Alignment.LEADING)

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
