Key frame the sprite

Hi,

I tried to insert a Key frame on a sprite created from a .gif file and RAVE
realigned all the individual bitmaps to frame one and created a pseudo
keyframes for all of them and lost the sequence. It does the exact same
thing if I do it on a group of objects (again, bitmaps imported from a .gif
file).

Is there something I did wrong? Can some one help me? Without keyframes I
can not attached it to a path and have to animate frame-by-frame.

Thanks for any helps,
Ed

I'm having the same problem...

I've imported an animated gif (4 frames) and i want the animated gif to loop
and follow a path for 32 frames. How can i make the gif file loop and follow
a path... adding a keyframe makes the gif only use the first frame
throughout the path...

Aye; I understand, now.

Sorry to say, but nothing I've tried accomplishes what you want.

But, don't let that discourage you too much . . . there are quite often many
paths . . . .

Wow... that sucks.. I've just started getting into creating animated images,
so i have no idea if i'm asking for the moon, or if it was something that
other programs offer.
I started with RAVE because it came with My corel package, but would you
suggest an alternative if RAVE can't do it?

No, not really. But that's mostly because I don't know other software <g>

..swf's forte is vectors, so that's what I'd suggest, but, well . . . it may be
that you would benefit from making each bitmap a separate Symbol, and nest them;
or manipulate them individually in some way.

I've only dabbled with bitmaps in RAVE . . . but I'm willing to test ideas ;-)

Thx for the feedback. I know RAVE is relatively young as a product goes...
I'm hoping they will add that kind of functionality to it...

Corel seems to be rather supportive of rave--I see a mature future.

Your feedback is a part of it, too :-)
