[AccessD] Question about Animated Graphics

Hi Arthur

Drew had some code (In Access 97 I think) in his minicalendar that
allowed
for animated graphics. Not sure if it was for an AVI or an animated GIF
If you have A97 download the minicalendar and have a look

But it can be also done with timers
I have also seen in some of Candace's demos the "Gears turning inside
the head" animation
It was a handful of stills made visible or not-visible using the timer.
Looked cool
But to get it to go fast caused screen flicker - and the screen flicker
varied from Not visible at all on some pewtas
To a real PITA in others

But as for inserting a native animated GIF and getting it to do what you
know an animated GIF can do
Is traditionally very tricky in Access and does require some sort of
smoke and mirrors

See ya

DD

Those are animated Gif files which are not supported in Access (well at
least version 2000 and less).  I think that there are some 3rd-party
controls that will let you host an animated Gif.

I found some cool graphics appropriate to an app I'm building now, but
so far I can't make them work correctly. For a peek at the graphics, see
http://www.animation-central.com/gears.htm. The graphics there move.
When I download one graphic and drop it on an Access form, it's static
not animated. I want the animation! How do I achieve this?

TIA,
Arthur
