I have been trying to bring in an Animated GIF. into my Captivate presentation.

When I import the animation using Insert> Animation it converts the animated gif to a swf file.

In the preview screen it shows my animated gif with multiple colors flashing over and over. It is doing this to all of the animated gifs that I am bringing in. My fps is set to 10 within Captivate.

Is there frame restrictions or file size restrictions that is causing this error when bringing in an animated gif. Any suggestions?

      Fixed it.... Remember when creating an Animated GIF. keep frame count under 100 frames. Whenever you exceed that there seems to be an error in Captivate. This a problem that needs to be fixed within Captivate. Thanks for all the help :(

        Hi mikeygilbert23_nap and welcome to our community

        Unfortunately, there are a few different methods used to create animated .GIFs. One would think all of them would be created simply using different images. Largely this is true. But some animation programs allow you to choose different methods for the way the screen is painted between frames. Sounds like you may be seeing this behavior.

        Not sure what to advise as to how to work past it though. Sorry. Hopefully one of the others has a clue.

        Cheers... Rick

        I compiled the images using Photoshop and the animation was created using ImageReady.
