GIF Madness

Post by Kaubs » Fri Jul 15, 2011 6:31 pm

Has anyone else had issue with .gif images in the IOS? I have a problem where the image will almost like overlap itself. It looks great on the computer in livecode and works perfectly when I just open the gif. When I load the app to an iphone for testing or look at it in the simulator its like the gif has overlapped itself and is going super fast. Any ideas?

Hi,

Don't use gif's. Instead, use PNG's. If you have an animated gif, create a PNG of each frame and import the pictures. Create a button and use a script to set the icon of the button to the id of each image.

Kind regards,
