[Dynapi-Help] Problems with animated Gif

[Joaquin S. <ca...@el...>]

Hello. I have found a pair of problems on using animated-gif with =
javascript.

The first and most important is this: when a script execute, the =
animation stops. why is this? how can i re-animate them?

Try it. put a simple animated-gif, and a hyperlink to a script that =
simply display an alert-box. The gif stop and it remain stopped all the =
time.

Y have found a partial-solution to this problem. I reload the image =
after the sript, but this dont work if the image was preloaded. why?

This is the other problem... the preload process. I make a "image.onload =
=3D function()" in the preload process. This is usefull to make a "load =
progress bar". But if it is a animated gif, the onload event dont stop. =
the function is called each time the gif moves. this problem make me mad =
to discover!

I have found a solution to this. in the function called, simply put a =
"image.onload =3D null", and it will run properly. Example:

image =3D new image()
image.onload =3D myfunction()
image.src =3D myanimated.gif


function myfunction(){
   ...
   ...
   ...
  image.onload =3D null
}

I hope this can be usefull for somebody with the same problem.

Thanks.
Gracias.
