GIF animation resets with mouse over
Guys,
I have a odd problem, I imbedded a GIF animation in my website using XWD and every time the mouse goes over a button or the GIF it restarts the GIF.
I checked properties on all these buttons for the mouse over commands and they are all set to do nothing, any sollutions?:rolleyes:
My home page is www.rkimarketing.com if you dont move the mouse you will see the show.
Thanks for the input and feedback.

Yowsers!!!! 32.3MB animated GIF - no no please don't force your visitors to download that much !!
Use flash instead, it will stream and should be much smaller.

I tried the flash route, couldnt figure it out. Checked threads and still couldnt could you put a link to a step by step. Very frustrated with that process and so I made a GIF from the slide show.:rolleyes:
Re: GIF animation resets with mouse over
Which software did you use to create the GIF?

Re: GIF animation resets with mouse over
I noticed the same problem with a small gif created by X3D6. I may change this to flash, but it is still a problem with gif's resetting on any mouseover. Perhaps this is something that the developers can look into.
Thanks,
Eric

Hi Eric,
Maybe you could post an example of this in the Dear Xara Web Designer... forum for the devs to notice?
Re: GIF animation resets with mouse over
I see it here too. :)
I'll take a look at this issue.
Thank you.
Re: GIF animation resets with mouse over
Thanks John.
I have changed my site to use Flash and that stops the problem but I notice another less noticable issue. The flash animation pauses slightly when I mouseover a button that brings up a popup layer (i.e. for a navbar submenu). This isn't a big problem but definately noticable when it happens. This is espically so for my site that has several buttons in sequance that have sub menus.
