Probably won’t solve Ben’s issue, but here’s an ancient stack I did that shows
how to animate using a single image in a group and simply adjusting its
position via scroll.

I've built a mobile stack with a player that plays a remote video from a
web site. This would solve your card opening delay issue, and would keep
the file size of your stack down. I might be wrong, but I also seem to
recall the entire video doesn't need to be loaded to be playable. Just

Thanks Scott et al, I should have been more detailed in my original post; my
animation is more like a simple video (rendered out from a 3d model) so not
susceptible to these techniques.

I don't know if OP wanted to move animation around the screen, but if you
use a multi-image display technique for animation, it's more efficient to
use a single image as a viewer. You only need one command -- set the text
of img "display" to -- instead of using two (hide and show).

Wow, what a cool idea! It boggles the mind!! Thanks, Scott.

Anything wrong with putting each animated object's image states in a group and
showing/hiding each figure in some kind of sequence? Then move the group to
move the character. Obviously I'm thinking of character animation. Seems this
would be pretty easy. Haven't tried it.

+1. I forgot this one, haven't played it in a while, and it's beautiful and
challenging. So my list of total games played in my lifetime is: JQBoggle,
Monument Valley, The Room. (Oh, I tried Angry Birds a few times.)

Hi Ben,
If you are trying to do a background animation with a looped movie, I found
the smoothest way was to put one image on each card and then loop through
the cards. This eliminates the load time problem.
Good Luck,

I think it was Scott Rossi that figured out a way to play an animation by
storing images as text in custom properties, then load each image in turn into
an image object.
I would imagine this may be limited to smaller less complex animations, but up
until now I hadn’t tried it myself, so I had a

If you have an animation made in Flash, you can export it as HTML5 Canvas, and
then the animation would play in a browser object.
If you do have to do video, dig out your old copy of QuickTime Player 7, then
you can have any aspect ratio you like.

Another option could be playing animation within a browser object. In theory
you'd have many more options available to you.
