If you can't decode in real time you have to create the animation statically. Put all frames into one surface. The layout depends on the number of frames and the size of one frame. You shouldn't have a surface wider than 1024 for certain hardware. Example: 24 frames of each 64x64 should be layouted 12x2 on a 768x128 surface. Each frame can then be blitted by passing a source rectangle to Blit(). -- Best regards, Denis Oliver Kropp .------------------------------------------. | DirectFB - Hardware accelerated graphics | | http://www.directfb.org/ | "------------------------------------------" Convergence GmbH -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe directfb-users" as subject.
