Animated gifs

[bripat]

P to X supports gif files and I have used Adobe Image Ready to create an animated gif. file which displays the intended movement when opened as a stand- alone file, but when imported into a P to X project,just displays a static image. What can I do to achieve the movement seen on the excellent Granot productions.

Brian,

Welcome to the forum. I take it that your reference to P to X is actually Pictures To Exe (or PTE or P2E)? If so, I believe that while PTE supports GIF files, it only supports static GIF files. You can get around this by using one of Granot's helpful utilities like FlashME4. I believe it not only plays, Flash and AVI movies, but also supports GIF files. This would allow you to embed your GIF animation in front or or immediately behind a PTE Slideshow. You can use it in the middle of several slideshows also by running the program after the last slide of one of your slideshow parts.

I hope this helps a little. Good luck and please let us know.
