animated gifs or alternative

Will Frontpage 2002 create animated gifs or anyother type of animations? I
have 6 pictures of the same size and i want them to show one after the other
on my website.
I use to have a small utility that would create animated gifs, which I think
then they were called gif 89's? It was a freeware, and I could set the time
between frames and other options. Anyway, thanks for any help......teecee

Front Page doesn not create animations like what you are describing.

It should be easy to find software to create animated gif's with a Google
search. You will need to learn how to construct animated gif's. That is one
way to go. But animated gif's are large downloads BEFORE they will display.
Very large animated gif's may delay the whole page from displaying while the
animted gif downloads.

Another way to go is to use FLASH. But, that will require you to buy
software that creates FLASH modules and learn it. FLASH module can be
constructed to display the module and the rest of the document before the
whole module has been downloaded. This feature is nicer for the visitor than
large animted gif's.

Another way is to use JavaScript to produce a slideshow of images. I use
such a JS script on wgtn.net.

Good luck.

Hello teecee,

To create a slideshow with animated effect, the easiest way to use the
3rd party utility such as Wondershare Flash Slideshow
Builder(www.photo2vcd.com/flash-slide-show.html) It can help you create
flash slideshows with cool transitions and effects. Addtionly It
outputs slideshows as the Macromedia Flash file format (SWF) which you
can embed the slideshow on your own site.

Regards.

Thanks, I actually do have an older version of that. After reading some
other posts, i may need to think of another way due to the size of the
picts. thanks tom

I have 4 or 5 pictures that are the same size but you are right becasue the
animatiikon would be to large to load unless everyone is on dsl or cable. Do
you remember the name of the javascript that shows one pict after another in
the same position, and maybe a way to set the speed. Thanks for your
help...tom,

I think I must have missed something. Where is the site that I could get the
script? I went to anfi and it was a vacation site. Did I miss this
altogether? It is Monday morning..hehe,,,have a great week...

New Idea for you.
Consider making 6 new webpages. Different pic on each page. Link to the
first page using atributes that size the new window to a size the same size
as your pictures, and also to center it. Then use a meta tag code to
redirect to the second page in X seconds. Then page two would redirect to
page three in X seconds, etc. When surfer is done looking, they simply close
the window.

CODE: <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=index2.htm">

REPLACE 0 with the number of seconds to display the page. REPLACE
index2.htm with name of page to redirect to.
