My question is about animated GIFs, so let’s start with this:
– Are there "animated PNGs", "animated JPEGs", or TIFFs, or animated anything else?
Notice that I am not talking about programming technologies such as flash, etc.
The specific project that I have is a demo program that processes some stages and when it is done with each, it places either a green check mark or a red X (with obvious meaning) next to the individual items.
I simply sent a green check mark and a red X to the programmer, would like the demo to look spiffier. Now I would like to see the check mark being drawn, i.e., animated. I don’t suppose the programmer has to be concerned or involved, right? I should simply send him an animated file and tell him: "here is the new green check mark".
What about the repetitive cycle? Is there some internal flag in animated GIFs (or animated anything) that says: "you should cycle forever" or "one cycle, and then you stop" (this is my preferred behavior for this application).
Should I forget about animated GIFs and use something else?
Your answers and comments are most welcome.
TIA,
-Ramon
