LoadAnimImage

What image formats are supported by this command? From trial, I guess that Animated Gif isn't, so is anyone aware of a utility that will convert an animated gif into the sequential bmp that Blitz seems to want?

Thanks.

*.jpeg, *.bmp, and *.png formats are supported. PNGs are far superior. Don't know of a utility to chop up an animated *gif. If you have Animation Shop or something similiar you could do it manually.

you can load and play animated GIFs with OpenMovie/DrawMovie.

So in theory you could write a converter in Blitz - load the animated GIF and copy each frame manually into a single bitmap, then save the image buffer.

However, due to the nature of Blitz's movie commands, its likely that you'd get duplicate images, so you might have a bit of tidying up to do afterwards...

Cheers guys.............
