JeeBee.. cool you're doing this, it will indeed be something usefull.. although you asked me over msn, and I wasn't there so couldn't answer, and now you're offline (so I'm writing this mail).. I'll give you a better way to do it in a few secs.. first, I wanted to say to Phil that I'm proud of you.. you realized yourself that you were agressive.. too bad, I wanted to tell you "relax" myself :P I didn't look at the code, but seeing that there was no photo_name passed, yes, it would have been an ugly hack! Now.. Jeebee.. I suggest you go to amsn SF page, go to 'browse CVS', look in the attic of the msn/ module, and look at the code of anigif.tcl there's a way there to retreive the number of frames of an animated gif, and there's a way to get a certain frame directly... Yes, it would mean going reverse, but if it's available, then use it... What I mean by 'going reverse' is that you can do it but you need to tell Tk to bypass cximage and use Tk's library for gif files.. Let's view it this way : tkcximage is used to display images, if they are animated, it will display the anigif and that's it.. but you want a 'special feature', something that TkCximage wasn't written for, so you could use Tk's gif implementation instead of TkCximage without your code having a 'design flaw'... To bypass tkcximage, you have to specify '-format gif86' when creating the image.. and to get your image, use the -index option.. so it would be : image create photo my_hangman_img $filename -format gif86 -index $image_index and you got it.. Assuming you know enough Tk, I wouldn't go into too much details about using the same name and doing a n image create photo would overwrite your image, instead of creatng [image create photo temp] then do a [my_hangman_img copy temp] or something... Apart from that, to get the number of frames, I think in anigif.tcl we used to open the file, read the GIF86 header and get the number of frames using a binary scan.. not sure, you'll have to check it out! good luck, have fun, etc... :) Advantage : you'll avoid wroking on tkcximage, avoid introducing new bugs in it, faster development, no need to recompile tkcximage, will still be compatible with 0.95... Disadvantage : you won't use TkCximage.. but you don't really need it since you don't use png, or want an animated gif to play continuously...
By the way, answer this : why is your plugin not compatible with 0.95 but only 0.96 ?
