annimated gifs

I am having a problem importing annimated gifs. They have a clear background but when they come into captivate 2.0 they come in with black backgrounds. The drop down menus also become unstable (I found that was fixed by clicking on any item in the library). If anyone know of a fix for the annimated gifs please let me know.
thanks!

    NYC, I had similar issues. I converted the .gif files to .swf (Flash). You can use many software programs to do this. One option is If you have the original graphic file(s) for the animation, you can import them into Fireworks, adjust the Frames, and do a File | Save As to product the .swf file. The .swf file will play back with no "bugs", and it will retain the transparent background you have in the original file.

    I've found animated .gifs tend to not work well when imported into multimedia projects - either Flash or Authorware.
