Animated gif, or multiple png's ...

Hi'

Anybody know if its possible to animate an animated gif or multiple png's on the 40 series? If yes, how?

Thanks,
Dark16

Hi,

animated gifs are not supported, but you can animate a series of png images by a thread.

Kind regards,
Tinke / FN

How do i do that ? If i want to animate pic1.png, pic2.png and pic3.png ? Code please !

OK, here's some code from my OEngine :) This class is for sprites. One can use it like:

private OSprite mt;
mt = new OSprite( "/metak", 1, 2, 2, "metak" );

The first parameter is name of the picture in JAR (multiple pictures start from 0, so, if you have 3 pictures, you name it like "pic0.png", "pic1.png" and "pic2.png"), second parameter is number of frames (pictures), third is the width of pic, fourth height and last one is type of sprite (for example, you can have "good" and "bad" sprites, and you can check collision with them and add or substract points or energy).
You set next picture of sprite with mt.nextFrame(), previous with mt.prevFrame()... Comments are on Croatian, but method calls are self-explanatory :)
