Inserting an Animation

[wineprovider]

Hello everyone!!!!!! I`m new to Voda. and am looking forward to using it to make and develope a website.
My first stumbling block is that I can`t seem to find out how to insert an animated flag. Im sure there will be more but if anyone could help me in the first instance I would be very greatfull.
In anticipation,
Wineprovider

Re: Inserting an Animation

It should be an animated gif- correct? If so- simply use the image icon to locate it on your computer and double click on it and then place it where you wish.

Treat it as any other picture.

Hope that helps.

Re: Inserting an Animation

Thanks Andy.

I`ve tried what you suggested and it`s the same as I`ve attempted myself.
However it appears as a still.
I`ve saved it as a GIF so I`m clueless now.
Thanks again,
Wineprovider

Welcome wineprovider,
what's your website and we'll look at what you are trying to do.

Re: Inserting an Animation

If you try to resize an animated GIF, your image will "freeze" at the first frame.....resizing can only be done within the original construct.

Re: Inserting an Animation

I`ve only just started assebling it.
I haven`t resized anything and it`s not been submitted.
Can you tell me how to show you?
Thanks all you are teriffic.

Re: Inserting an Animation

If it's not "assembled" then isn't it reasonable that it presents as a "still"?

(Not trying to sound sarcastic, but I don't even know how you could even email it to demonstrate what is going on if it is not complete....you can try, I guess, using link herein)

Hang in there....I'm trying to open Outlook for the 11th time....Solar flares making things difficult....(and I had been avoiding email so far this morning too! LOL)

USE THE LINK IN EARLIER POST....my others are still being reset due to migration of sites....

Re: Inserting an Animation

Vassili is correct. This is not an animated GIF. Look how this one looks like:

Re: Inserting an Animation

Mine looks the same as yours navaldesign when it opens;fluttering away so WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?

Re: Inserting an Animation

Got your email...(the B&W version)....it works fine.....

**Actions will not present properly within BV, nor in Preview all the time, and only upon publishing will you see them universally. Is this what you are dealing with?

>>> Go ahead and colorize it, Martyn, then simply publish it to see how it will be...if necessary, it is not a big deal to remove it and reconfigure if needed.
Insert it as a Picture in BV....relax.

Re: Inserting an Animation

Ok thanks everyone. The flag has no colour it`s the flag of St.Piran.
Please can you explain BV?
I`m still suprised that I can`t view it as it should be (flying)! However I shall continue to assemble the site and publish when I`m satisfied it`s up to standard.
Your a great bunch,
Thanks again,
Wineprovider

Re: Inserting an Animation

Thie above is not correct. The animated gif should be animated also in preview. However, the one that you have uploaded here is jpeg, although i think it is only how you have uploaded it.

Re: Inserting an Animation

Thanks Naval!!! How do you suggest that I save it so that it flies in prview. However I`ve just checked the properties and it`s a GIF.
Thanks again,
