Hi.

1. AMS doesn't support .gif as image objects just yet, but soon. You can insert .gif images into your web objects, media playerobjects, and flash objects within AMS though...

2. I assume you are asking about loading an image at runtime. Yes this is possible, place the image in your Distribution folder and then use either a web object, a media player object, or a flash object to load it at runtime.

No, although some users use blank text objects to cover them up. The media player object has no border and can show .gifs.

Re: hi, i want to insert an image(.gif)

i ve a problem with the media objects it display a black border

Re: hi, i want to insert an image(.gif)

1. Over here the media player doesn't display any border, not sure why yours is different but I guess it is.

2. Uncheck the "show controls" checkbox in the media player object's properties screen.

You should check out the help file on the Media Player object, it's very helpful and informative.

To copy files without the dialog, use the CopyFileA function from the KERNEL32.DLL.

%DLLResult% = File.CallDLLFunction ( "%SysDir%\kernel32.dll", "CopyFileA", ""%SrcDir%\YourFile.EXT","%TempDir%\YourFile.EXT", 0")

Replace the 0 with a 1 if you do not want an existing file to be over-written.

Here's a snippet from one my projects that uses it.

Re: hi, i want to insert an image(.gif)

the media player object is always on the front even if i put the "back one"

Re: hi, i want to insert an image(.gif)

Media player objects are always in front of other kinds of objects, no matter how you arrange the objects in the Z-order.

Mark your calendars - the LZW (GIF) compression patent expires on June 20, 2003. We can all raise a glass when that date arrives.

Once the patent expires, it shouldn't take us too long to get the .gif format code in there, with at least support for the transparency. Animated gif's are another issue all together, but hey - we'll see what we can do.
