Sorry, but I've gotta ask but what the heck are people still using
animated GIFs for? I kinda thought it was so "yesterday"...? You
know, the waving flag, the (sorry Doug... I saw your demo) rotating
earth, etc...

I musta read like 3 C classes that convert GIF's to SWF's only to
realize I'd have to take years to learn C JUST to get Flash Player to
support this in converting the C to AS3... and now you've coded it,
HOT!!!!!!!

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:
