How to load animated gif with VBScript?

[Mystery]

Hi
I haven't found any instruction how animated gifs can be loaded into a hotspot with VBScript (only for non animated pictures).
Is there a possibility to do this with VBScript? (If possible I don't want to use here the gif sequencer or a video)
Thank you in advance,
Mystery

I found :
Action.LoadGraphicFile

Code: Select all

Similar to the Action.LoadAPicture command, but for more advanced users. It loads a graphic file from the "Areas" sub-folder of the project folder into a property. For example, to change the cursor that is associated with the hotspot number 5, you should type:

   Hotspot(5).MouseIcon = LoadGraphicFile("FILENAME")
   Hotspot(5).MousePointer = 99

where FILENAME is the name of the graphic file, located inside the "Hotspot Graphic Files" sub-folder of the "Project Resources", which corresponds to the directory "c:\...\PROJECTNAME\Areas". The supported graphic types are: BMP, JPG, GIF (not animated), WMF, EMF, ICO and CUR. Replace FILENAME with an empty string to unload the picture.

See if that will work.

Thank you Candle. I have seen this, too. But if you read it carefully, it says:
The supported graphic types are: BMP, JPG, GIF (not animated), WMF, EMF, ICO and CUR.
But I would like to load an animated GIF. I wonder if there is a possibility that supports also animated GIFs in VBScript.

Sorry didn't see that part.

Hi,

I am afraid VBScript does currently not support animated GIF's.

Hi GM,

Thank you for your answer.
I can solve it otherwise, it just would have been easier for this particular project.
