• animated GIF not showing do not adequately

  I have an animated gif image, and I used http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Java-Development/Display-an-animated-GIF/ta-p/445014 this link to animate the noise towards the top of the screen and that did not work properly

  You can see the animation below

  

  public class UpdatePopScreen extends PopupScreen{
  
          public UpdatePopScreen(){
               super(new VerticalFieldManager(), Screen.DEFAULT_CLOSE); 
  
               GIFEncodedImage ourAnimation = (GIFEncodedImage) GIFEncodedImage.getEncodedImageResource("sunblackk.gif");
              AnimatedGIFField _ourAnimation = new AnimatedGIFField(ourAnimation, Field.FIELD_HCENTER);
  
              this.add(_ourAnimation);
             add(new LabelField("Loading..."));
  
      }         
  
      }
  

  and I have attached AnimatedGIFField.java

  I think something is wrong in your establishment or the way you use this code, because it works very well for me.  Sorry you'll have to do investigative work to identify the problem.

  I suspect there are two possibilities:

  (a) you have not configured your environment properly

  (b) you use something else keeps track of events

  I think that (b) is the most likely, but to test these two at the same time, you must proceed as follows:

  Create a new project and a new example application, then, in this application, test the screen.  Nothing else in this project - it should start just a screen, the screen should have a button, when you click the button the treatment should push the pop-up screen.

  I have included my code (which combines Animation and popup screen into one file - not recommended but useful source under test).  Use this code and the image as an attachment in your new project.

  Test it on your Simulator.

  Assuming that you can get this working, then we can investigate on what is actually wrong in your application.

• [Flash Pro] Motion tween is added an animated GIF picture

  * FIRST - I couldn't find one

  Hi, I'm working on a school project and we have recently I do an animation before Monday.

  So my problem is that I have a GIF of a man walking (which already has images by default to make the man walk) and I can not add a motion tween.

  So we learned essentially to take a car for example. We import a photo of a car (non - gif; no pre animated movement) and select it. make a symbol (video clip), then click on frame 30 and "Create motion tween" as we moved the image to the end; What makes a path automatically.

  But here, I can't do that because when I import the GIF man walking, he already has lots of raster data built in front to make the moving man and I cannot understand how to really add a motion tween to make man to move (of course with its PRE-BUILT animation [gif makes the arms and legs move]) and make him cross a road I built. So basically I want the man to move from one end to the other using a motion tween (or if there are other ways to do?) and alongside with its GIF data that moves its arms and legs.

  Small SS of my calendar:

  http://prntscr.com/b2qqwa

  as you can see here; the second element/first layer called "anyone walk - 1" is a GIF image and when I load it, it loads its pre movements animated and I can't create a Tween to make humans image cross one end to the other with her has pre-built ones again.

  Long, but I tried to make the Guide and all other acts and I tried Googling my head, spent 4 hours and found NOTHING. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. And our teacher didn't us really learn this type of concept and neither do I class before it is due, so you are my only hope.

  Thank you.

  See if you can follow these steps:

  Right-click on the name of the layer to the market-1 person.

  Select the copy layer.

  Go to the library and click right in and empty the part of the library window and select new symbol. Will it be a movieclip.

  Now, you will be inside this new movieclip. Right click in the layer 1 name and select the layer of dough.

  You now have a moveiclip of your person walking. Go back to the top level of the scene and make a new layer.

  Drag the new movieclip on the stage.

  You should now be able to add a motion tween to this new layer. So who has worked, you can delete your original person market-1 layer.

• Record animated gif problem

  Hello!

  Just for fun I was intending to change a gif of tackle football animation. I intend to remove the player attacking every frame of the animated gif image. So it would take time to complete.

  I correctly opened the gif in CS6 via import of video frames to layers.

  It consists of 72 layers and I tried to fix 10 of them just to see how it would roughly look like.

  My problem comes when I try to save and restore the GIF (via save for WEB).

  The first 10 images of my gif displays only an image of freezing, and then it shows the rest of the 11-72 without any problem.

  What am I doing wrong, because my layers edited does not appear in the final GIF?

  

  Right away! Easy solution.

  First of all, the reason why your first 10 frames do not change is because each of these images shows the same layer (Layer 1).

  • In your layers panel, you have 1 layer visible value and all of the other layers are invisible. It's good for image 1, but for part 2, you'll want to do 2 layer that is visible.
  • Click on image 2 in your editing panel and then check the eyeball icon to make the visible Layer 2 ! Do the same for the frame 3/Layer 3, Frame 4/layer 4, etc until you reach the end of the animation!

  

  

  For the second problem, to make frames from layers option is grayed out because you already have pictures in your timeline.

  • Go to your timeline panel and select all the images and delete them.
  • Then select all your layers in the layer panel, right click and choose the Images made of layers... you should be able to click it once your Timeline is disabled. It will automatically create the images that range from Layer 1 to your last layer (so you wouldn't have to do it manually as above ^).

  

  Anyway should take care of your problem! Please let me know if it works for you!

  See you soon,.

• How to reposition an animated gif imported into all States at once?

  I create a new document in Fireworks CS6.

  I import an animated gif existing (a video AVI converted gif in Photoshop CS6).  Its dimensions are smaller than the size of the document, so for me it's just an object such as text or anything else.

  I add some text to the document.

  I add a small png image to the document.

  (This is where comes my lack of understanding of the fireworks...)

  1. If I reposition the animated gif object this change occurs only on State (context), that I am. I want my repositioning to be reflected in all States, not only the one image... Err, STATE.

  2. the text and the png, I added are also only on this single State and I want them to be present for all managers in the original animated gif.

  Sounds so rudimentary, but I can't find a tutorial or the description on how to achieve these basic steps.

  This is a png image of what should look like the final image.  The largest screen captures in the middle is the animated gif.

  

  To reposition all the elements of your both animated GIF, go in the States at the bottom panel left and choose 'Show All States' (also check multi - State edition is activated). From there, you can use the pointer tool to select the items on the canvas who want to move.

  To share a layer between all States (such as the elements of your text and png), go the State in which the objects are currently present, select the corresponding layer and choose 'Share layer to States' in the menu drop-down in the layers panel or context menu.

• Black frames at end of animated gifs

  When you make banners using AE to convert 3 to 5 seconds of video in animated GIF, I noticed that there are always black frames at the end that appear each time the banner is played repeatedly. However, these frameworks do not seem to occur if the output is swf files. Y at - it a medium format or source to work around the problem of black frames with animated gifs? I not had this problem with other software gif animated, that I used, but the quality of the EA is better, other than this issue. Appreciate help with this.

  Just checked the help files and the SOUL supports animated gifs but only on Windows. Sorry I missed it.

  If you get black images at the end, then simply adjust the point of exit in the SOUL. You probably see a set cadence match. Fix you this in AE and not a SOUL.

  Useful for Animated Gifs should have a very low number of executives and a slow pace to be useful. 3 seconds to 29.97 FPS will make a big enough file for a banner size. Not see the project, but looking at the description I was wondering if your comp is 29.97 FPS, but you've made your gifs at 15 frames per second or even lower. If this is the case, that the black frames at the end could easily be the result of some funky things going on with the gif rendering engine.

  I still maintain my suggestion to use a film in Photoshop. Most of animated gifs that I created require different lengths for different periods. I'll start with 5 frames a.1 seconds for a transition, then hold the 6th framework during 6 seconds, then the transition to slide with 1 more pictures a.1 2 second, then the frame h 17-6 seconds and 12 seconds of animation gif with 17 images. You can't do that with the SOUL, you would end up with an animated gif with 120 frames for the same thing.

• loadMovie won't play animated gifs but swf plays very well

  I use CS3 Flash with ActionScript 2.

  My program for extreme successfully can be recharged on a movieClip (with loadMovie) external .jpg, .png and .gif (not animated) and displays them properly. I can also have it load in an external .swf and do play correctly. The only problem I have is with... animated gifs they load, but then only show the first image/animation (even when you use play()).

  Will there be a different method in addition to play() to get a clip with a loaded in animated gif to play?

  This is only a sample, it is not the labour code (it is very long so did not post)... These are just the main calls that will work for the .swf file, so I thought they would work for both animated gif.

  this.createEmptyMovieClip ("myMC", 1);

  myMC.loadMovie("filename.gif",1);

  myMC.play ();

  Again, my 'real' code will load and display static .jpg, .png or .gif files fine, so it will load and read files well .swf... is just animated gifs do not play.

  My full code is here if you want to watch:

  As much as I know, you cannot read a gif animated in Flash.  Only the first image of it appears.

• import animated gif in CS3

  Sorry, I'm new to Flash CS3. I have an animated gif I want to convert it to Flash. I thought I could just open or import and Flash would recognize that it is and allow an easy conversion. Right?
  
  I tried to import the gif as well as individual images. Flash does not seem to recognize some animated gifs, and it seems that I have to start from scratch. A search of the internet suggests a third-party software is necessary, but the research of Adobe references using Macromedia or CS4
  
  Does anyone know a link with the correct procedure?

  It's easier (for me) as I pointed out, and I use CS3. If you want to correct me on do not open a new file, I assumed you already had an open, if not, you missed a few not so... Register to purchase Flash-> install-> Flash-> Flash Flash open->...

  If you were able to correctly import gif, a movieclip of it should be in the library, as well as the individual bitmaps of each image of it. If you don't have these things, then it can be than broad with the file gif himself.

• How to make animated gifs to work in FCPX?

  Hello

  How to make animated gifs to work in FCPX?

  They work in FCP7 (FCS) but not FCPX. Strange.

  assailed

  Elmer

  If you had FCP7, you have Quicktime 7 Pro (upgraded automatically at installation FCP7). Check your Applications > Utilities folder.

  Open the gif in QT7 and export as... (Sequence Quicktime Movie > Open Options)... might as well go with ProRes LT and make sure that you pay attention to the size option (select current if the original is 100%).

  There is no problem in loading the image, but it seems to be limited to the first image.

  It happens even with the download of the gif, only the first image is uploaded so that the image is not as lively.

• Firefox slows down when opening a site with animated gifs

  After FF4 update, I find that whenever I try to open a page that has several on this animated gifs, firefox slows down a lot. The CPU usage goes up to 50-75% and all animated gifs are moving really slow.

  It is not only large animated gifs, but it occurs also on the forums that have animated smileys. I never had this problem in FF 3.6 neither another browser (IE, Chrome, Safari). If I start FF4.0 without modules or plugins it does the same thing. Even with a new facility. Does anyone have a solution to his problem? Since I can't use some of my favorite now with FF sites, without my pc slow everything down.

  Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the Add-ons is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Modules > themes).

  • Makes no changes on the start safe mode window.

  Safe mode disables extensions in Firefox 4, and disables hardware acceleration.

• Animated GIF causes popup to hang?

  Hello:

  We started to use animated GIFs strongly in popups Teststand for about a year and a half. As we used this feature, we have had reports more and more Teststand suspended after acknowledging the popups.

  The problem is very intermittent. But it is reproducible. See the attached files. Sequence is call a popup not modal teststand again and again that displays an animated image. The popup is set to timeout after a second (just for the convenience to reproduce the problem). The sequence always crashes in minutes. Behavior is the same in the editor of sequence or the user interface of the CVI. If the sequence changes so that no image is displayed by the popup, the sequence does not crash.

  We use Teststand 4.0.1f1. I would like to know how to solve this, because it is quite a major problem with us.

  Thank you

  Dave

  Dave-

  Wanted to just call with you on this issue. LabWindows/CVI 9.0.1 was released and its runtime engine resolves the deadlock problem that have seen you. So to avoid blocking on a system, you just install the new version of the RTE located in the: http://ftp.ni.com/support/softlib/labwindows/cvi/Run-Time%20Engines/9.0.1/NILWCVIRTE90.exe. You may need to restart your system after the installation.

  Thank you

  Have a look here.

  Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default programs, "Associate a type of file or Protocol with a program", the command on my machine the default program for .gif is Internet Explorer.  Which appear to indicate a page full of IE with an animated .gif, maybe you need a third party program to do what you want?

  Go to IE tools/internet options/advanced/multimedia. Make sure that the option to play the animations is turned on. If no joy, make sure that your connections are associated with Internet Explorer - if you click on a .gif file in windows Explorer, IE should open to view it.  Some security software can disable the animation.
