LiveCode Forums

I can make an animated GIF in Photoshop, or, I have software for converting a movie file into an animated GIF. Talking no more than 15 - 20 frames does Livecode support this sort of inclusion into its code as opposed to 'coding' the actual movement in Livecode? Would the code be bloated as a result, is this the best way to approach animations in Livecode or should I really look at the animation engine that Livecode provides.

Thankyou.

Hi Chris,

just import the image as control:

File > Import As Control > Image File...

You can also set its properties in the Inspector (frame, repeat, repeat in reverse etc).

PS
Note that you can then also use the image as icon in a button

Amazing...something that is not complexed. I had no idea it was that simple. Thankyou Mag.
