 |
|
People,
Can someone take a look at this scrolling graphic (implemented via scripting); & tell me how I might recreate it as an animated .gif?:
http://mysite.verizon.net/vze3yjbu
I had wanted to add a graphic of a sound wave to my new site (created in Dreamweaver MX...which will be a resource site for digital musicians when complete); & to have it scroll across the page to resemble an audio track during playback in a computer-based digital audio workstation.
I created the graphic myself; & thought I had it configured properly with an appropriate java script to scroll correctly…but when I uploaded the site, the script caused it to scroll beautifully, allright…but the cursor on the page undergoes a rapid-fire toggling between the cursor arrow & the hourglass.
A java programmer tells me it’s because the cursor is switching between normal & busy…because the code is making a server call at the same rate the script causes it to scroll.
He suggested I would be better off with an animated .gif.
In anticipation of this (it was going to be my first choice for implementation)…I made the graphic twice as long as the width of my page…so as to consecutively frame it for movement in an area as wide as the page.
But that’s as far as I got…I’m drawing a blank on how to get it done.
Can anyone offer any suggestions on the correct method for a wide scrolling animated .gif image?
(I’m using Image Ready.)
Thanks very much,

well for an animated gif its not in the scripting just in the graphic itself moving if you notice on the site you linked to the mouse flickers as well do to the scripting its about once per second or so.
anyway for animated gifs there are 2 programs I use, Jasc animation shop and ulead gif animater. check them out i believe you can download trial versions of each that way you can kina play with them and see if you can get the effect you want. |
