ImageIcon imageIcon = new ImageIcon(ImageIO.read(MyClass.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("animated.gif"))); The image loads, but only the first frame of the animated gif. The animation does not play. If I load the animated gif from a file on the f...
Believe it or not I need a way of displaying animated gifs in Flex 3. This guy has a component for sale but it's Flex 2 only: http://dougmccune.com/blog/2007/01/19/how-to-load-animated-gifs-using-adobe-flex-20/.

I have a form showing progress messages as a fairly long process runs. It's a call to a web service so I can't really show a percentage complete figure on a progress bar meaningfully. (I don't particularly like the Marquee property of the progress bar) I would like to show an animated GIF to give the process the feel of some activity (e...
I searched the Web, but the most I was able to find was 180x180 pixels. I'm looking for a ajax loader .gif animation that is at least 400x400 pixels. File size is not very important, it's for intranet application. UPDATE: solution must be free as in beer. I don't own a copy of Photoshop, for example. ...

Let's say that I have a Flash website where you could create an avatar and some motion. Is there a way to save those into an animated GIF with a server-side language ?

Ive been looking everywhere for something that could manipulate animated gif files, server-side, preferably through php, but simple command line tools that could be executed via exec() would do also. Essentially Im looking to watermark animated gif files, as well as have the ability to cull frames out of animations (every 2nd, 3rd frame ...
I have a series of images that I want to create a video from. Ideally I could specify a frame duration for each frame but a fixed frame rate would be fine too. I'm doing this in wxPython, so I can render to a wxDC or I can save the images to files, like PNG. Is there a Python library that will allow me to create either a video (AVI, M...

How do I stream in the image? get it do display with actual animation? I know ImageView is not the answer as it only shows the first frame. A bonus would be having access to its buffering sta...
Hi, Can you tell me how to add an animation gif to a button in c#. Just by adding gif to resources and setting as button image didn't work very well (next frames apear over the previous ones).

I have a .NET WinForms application with an animated GIF in a PictureBox. It's a loading animation, shown while a BackgroundWorker does some processing in another thread. I load the image by setting the Image property and it animates on its own. All is fine until I minimize and restore the application. At which point, the image stops ani...
