|
i was wondering if it's possible to make an animated gif interactive.
what i'm going for is making some kind of slideshow of pictures (animated gif) and to add a button to it to make it possible to flip through the pictures by clicking that button.
can i do that in photoshop cs3/cs4 or do i need flash for that?

I would think that a code driven solution for a web gallery would be your best bet, whether that is in Flash or DHTML, Java etc...
Welcome to the forum, you may well get another opinion to the contrary, I have no real experience of animating GIF's but it seems you want a web gallery and using photos best suited to JPEG in GIF's isn't really bandwidth sensible. It just seems a clunky way as a solution.
I suppose the real answer to your question is, yes. It is possible but I don't think its an effective solution.

An animated GIF is just treated as a normal GIF within a web page. You can use the "whole" thing as a link to another web page if you like, but it doesn't differentiate between individual frames. The other thing is that the GIF format isn't well suited to photos. It's great for clip art and pictures with a limited number of colours.
Perhaps what you need is not actually an animated gif? I have a memory of using Photoshop to make a gallery which I then embedded in a web page. Could this suit you?
It's also possible to do things yourself in a web page. I've used Javascript to do stuff like that, but my background is in programming and there are much easier ways these days (like Photoshop and Flash - must learn Flash!). I'm sure Dreamweaver would have something nice too.
My suggestion would be to see what Photoshop/Bridge can do for you first if that's the software that you own. |

Have a look at Bridge (which comes with Photoshop). Search HELP for "Create a web photo gallery). It has instructions. Best of luck! |
