animated gif

[Pablo Murias]

Hi all...

I want to display an animated gif but I couldn't find how to do it, the
image is displayed but only the first picture (not the animated sequence).

Do you have any idea?

Thanks, Pablo

Pablo,

Unless I misunderstand the context this isn't really on topic for
Dolphin
Smalltalk, but if you want to learn how to do this, check out

It feel a bit "kludgy" but you can use the URLPresenter class to do this.
For example -

URLPresenter showOn: 'c:\airplane.gif'

plays an animated gif in a continuous loop. You're basically just pointing
a web browser at a gif file and it's doing what comes naturally!. You can
add a URLPresenter resource to a normal view so you can include it in a
normal app if needed.

I am sure there must be a way of using a dedicated ActiveX control to do
this - but I don't know what it is!!!

Hi,

I already have an animated gif, and it is ok...
But when I open it inside a Dolphin Shell the animation is not showed, only
the first picture in the sequence
