[I apologize if this is a double post, had a timeout when I first tried posting.]
I just released a new commercial component for Flex that loads and plays animated GIFs. This has been brought up a few times here on flexcoders and flexcomponents. Now there's no need to hack together some weird IFrame solution, or figure out how to do the server-side conversion of all your GIFs. You can try the demo version for free and the commercial version is $50. Here's the description I posted on Flex Exchange: The AnimatedGifLoader loads and plays animated GIF files. This component adds support for animated GIFs, a feature that has been lacking from Flex. This works just like the SWFLoader component from the Flex Framework. Use it inline in your MXML code or by using Actionscript. This component supports everything the SWFLoader component does, with a few additions. New methods: play(), pause() New properties: autoPlay, playing, currentFrame, delay Test it out with your own animated GIFs to see how it works by clicking on the sample URL. I've written up the full details on my blog. There are some examples and you can even test out any GIF you want by uploading it and seeing it loaded by the component instantly: http://dougmccune.com/blog/2007/01/17/animatedgifloader/ Here's the Flex Exchange posting: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?view=sn610#view=sn611&viewName=Flex%20Extension&loc=en_us&authorid=61303741&page=0&scrollPos=0&subcatid=0&snid=sn611&itemnumber=0&extid=1103970&catid=0 Feedback is always appreciated!
