i have a gif and i want to place it in a border/frame.
for example my gif is square and i want to place it in something like this
http://www.xbox.com/NR/rdonlyres/9E4...boxskin001.jpg
if i cut out the green, how can i put the square gif underneath the image i just used. so it looks like the gif is playing in the image
hope this is understandable, its hard to explain really.
I'm not sure what you are trying to do - or more importantly where! If it is on a web page, then this code will give you one option. Each image is set in a layer, the z-index determining which is in the front. Does that help?!
<html><head>
<STYLE type="text/css">
#Layer1 {
position:absolute;
width:200px;
height:115px;
z-index:5;
left: 125px;
top: 59px;
}
#Layer2 {
position:absolute;
width:200px;
height:115px;
z-index:2;
}
</STYLE>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function MM_reloadPage(init) { //reloads the window if Nav4 resized
if (init==true) with (navigator) {if ((appName=="Netscape")&&(parseInt(appVersion)==4)) {
document.MM_pgW=innerWidth; document.MM_pgH=innerHeight; onresize=MM_reloadPage; }}
else if (innerWidth!=document.MM_pgW || innerHeight!=document.MM_pgH) location.reload();
}
MM_reloadPage(true);
//-->
</script>

<body>
<div id="Layer2"><img src="ilmxboxskin001.jpg" /></div>

sorry i didnt mention its not for a website just a gif picture i want to make.
basically i cut the green shape out of the image i posted, then add that over a normal gif with a software.
i cant cut the gif to fit in the green shape i cut out. so its easier to place the jpeg over the animated gif. is there a software that can do this??
If you would like to do this in Xtreme, it's a snap.
Paste the green bitmap pic into Xtreme and trace the outline of the green oval with the shape editor too, then Arrange/Combine/Subtract. This will leave you with the center completely cut out. [I first traced the entire pic to cut the shape of the whole thing out of the square with Arrange/Combine/Intersect.] Then, if you like the third pic below, you can add a green piece and add some transparency to it.
Oops, you must have posted that you wanted an ANIMATED gif behind it while I posted the above. Still not a problem with Xtreme. I pasted my third pic into a new Xtreme animation and played with it there.
ooh very nice, i will give it a try tomorrow.
:)
i seem to have a problem, when tracing the green oval and then picking subtract image, i dont actually have a "subtract image" highlighted

You need to select both shapes before you can subtract one from the other..
