Hi Richard, I realize that email is a terrible substitute for verbal communication. I did not read anywhere that Klaus was offering to file a bug report for me in what he wrote. It sounded more like he wanted me to write to LC support privately about my concerns. In no way should anyone have

Hi Klaus How did you manage to stop? I’ve tried everything, antacids, probiotics, antibiotics and even agnostibiotics. No relief, always with the belkking. People pretend not to notice, but I know they know. Oh the pain of belkosoritiosis! ; • ) Have a good weekend. BTW I did not know ab

Hi Klaus, Oops, I thought I was just having a conversation. I forgot we aren’t supposed to ever say anything publicly that might be construed to be negative on this list. Sorry about that. Maybe you could rephrase it more like, "We could sure use a compiler for LC to help make all animations run

Hi Klaus, It would indeed be nice to have APNG supported in the image object. In the meantime, one workaround would be to render APNGs in the browser widget. I threw together a small example here: https://wheninspace.com/test/apng/ (Incidentally also proving that it works smoothly as web deployme

Hi Klaus, While you are at it, please ask them whatever happened to our compiler that we paid for and never received! The compiler would have helped to speed up things so we could make better animations and games. I have been tapping my foot for years for that. Maybe we should receive a a full re

Hi all, animations are LCs stepchild, except the (poor looking and outdated) animated GIF format, LC does not support any animation formats. FLASH is dead since a long time, some older LC devs may remember it. :-) I know there is an animated PNG image format and I'm about to add feature requ
