Hmmm... that could actually work. I'll try it tomorrow when I'm back @ work.

Thanx!

I haven't read te whole thread but maby simple javascript function could do the trick?
Just make a function that takes image as the first variable and timer as the next.

onMouse="funcChangeImage('img1',0); funcChangeImage('img1',1000); "
onMouseOut="funcChangeImage('img1',0)"

it isnt that hard to split the gif files, especially when compared to figuring out an applet to do the stuff instead, and im pretty sure it is the only way you are going to get it to work like you want it to.

Unfortunately that's what I was thinking too

If other solutions won't work, I might actually try it. I know some basic Java so I think it could work. Never thought of a Java solution for this one. Thanx!

Altough I appreciate your help, I'm not looking for a script that does animation (If I was, I would modify and use this one).

cheers,

I have seen sites that show how to do animation with javascript. I bet if you modified their code you could load certain frames with a function. Guess it'd be a lot of work.

i really doubt what youre trying to do is possible with javascript, although it's an excellent idea and it's a shame that it's not. it'd be nice to be able to keep all our rollovers as single images rather than seperate 'up' and 'over' images.

I just saw the link you posted...
I guess I misunderstood...mine is a basic over, down, click and out...
I will see if I can do something with an animated gif...

Oooh, that's quite clever!

Over, Down, Click, Out
on the image

I believe if you use Adobe Image Ready, you can create a rollover with multiple frames, and specify which frame shows up on each action.

I will try it out and let you know if it works.
