Pros: can be exactly the size I want; plays quite smoothly
Cons: I've not managed to play this from an external file, and if it's
embedded on the card there's an unacceptable delay.
You could try the "prepare image" command to load the gif ahead of time. It
works well for me, but I haven't ever tried it with gifs.
Thanks Jacque and all who've replied.
I should have given more details - my animation is actually a rendering from a
3d model - it could happily be a video, except for the frame size issue. I
looked into the "prepare image" command - however you can only use it for an
image on disk, or an image on the current card; my problem (with an embedded
image) is that there's a delay on going to the card, because the image is
being loaded. Loading the GIF from an external file might be better but I
couldn't make this work on mobile - should it be possible? Do I want a
relative path or an absolute one?
Many thanks,
Ben
