Animated GIFs work in open office, but they display slowly and jerkily. They display faster embedded in web pages via Firefox, but they still look grainy.
Meanwhile, my distro provides an open source package called "swftools" which includes a tool "png2swf". I wrote some programs in C, linked to libgd, to write animated GIFs, frame by frame. Now I am retooling the programs to write PNG frames to a directory, and combining them with png2swf. While I cannot show SWF movies from within openoffice, I can show them with Firefox, and I will be building slide shows around that. You can see one of the animations at: http://www.server-sky.com/local/ap02.swf It shows 20 frames per second (as designed) on my browser. I am curious how it does with other browsers or slower computer speeds.
