Gif as animation

Hi there,

I have downloaded a very nice and simple template. Not sure where - must be from the Brothers.

As you can see there is an SWF animation in it - the smiley.

As you can also see - the smiley is in Media in the Library and has an extension gif. So it has been a gif in its previous life ...

Also, the animation plays when exporting to HTML 5 - is that supposed to be so? I thought there are issues playing swf in HTML5.

Overall, what is the way to import a gif so it works as an animation in an HTML 5 output?

Thanks in advance

    Thanks Lieve, I was trying with corrupted file. I get it now. Most gifs I find are with a black background. Where do you look for free for commercial use gifs? Ideally with a transparent background. Any hints?

    Thanks again

    PS:

    Sorry I realize that I did not attach the picture to the first post.
