I have a widget that is supposed to alternate between two gif images. For some reasons this doesn't seem to work on my chumby it shows the buttons and stuff, but no pics. Here is a link to the swf file. Any idea why this doesn't work on the chumby? it works on the virtual one just fine.
GIF support was added in Flash 9, which you're running on your machine and which is thus being used by the Virtual Chumby.
We're using Flash Lite 3, which is based on Flash 8, and doesn't natively support GIF.
O well, thanks for letting me know.
Is there anything i can do, or should i just use a different image file?
I think Flash 8 introduced GIF support, not Flash 9
My widget is exported as Flash 8 and loads GIFs at runtime with LoadMovie, no problem.
dak52: I like your buttons, how do you do them?
My buttons are just the default component buttons in Adobe Flash CS3 Pro

Ah, you may be right - in any case, GIF is definitely *not* supported natively by Flash Lite 3, whatever the case may be with desktop Flash players.
I think we were adding GIF support at one point - not sure where that ended up.
it actually does work Duane, although animated gifs will just show the first frame. I just tried to loaded your avatar with the Load Image from URL widget and it shows up fine on the Chumby.
Ah, then I guess Henry got it in.
See? I don't know everything after all! 
Hurrah for Henry!
Got it taken care of. Thanks for all your help. just needed to use movie clip vs. image loader.
