Why does animated clipart not work on my webpage?

[irene]

I have inserted an animated clipart into my webpage. When I preview in a
browser, the animation does not work. This is in FrontPage 2003. It does work
in Powerpoint. The clipart is a .gif file Any ideas?

Make sure you import the image into your current open FP web / site prior to inserting it on your
page, and then you use File Menu | Preview in browser to view the page with the image.

What is the source code of the file that has been inserted? Make sure
that it is only something like <img src="images/image.gif" alt="Alt
text"> and not something that has a lot of VML coding, mso coding, etc
- this shows that you copied it from Powerpoint and pasted it directly
into FP - something that cannot really be done

Did you make any type of changes/editing/sizing to the image either in
FrontPage or an image editor?

Yes, I made it smaller in FP.

That's your problem.

An animated GIF is made up of several different images or frames.

If you edit it like you did, the animation is destroyed.

To make an animation smaller, you must have a gif animation program to break
apart the different frame images. Then, you edit each individual image for
size in an image editor. Then, you put the frames back together in the GIF
animation program to rebuild it.

That is why it doesn't work. Animated GIF images can only edited/resized in a Animated GIF Editor.

Thank you. I managed to get it working by reducing the size in my Ulead photo
explorer software.
