After reading the Animated Homescreen article, it reminded me, how do we play Animated GIF files anyway?
Doesn't play on my 6315 or my MPX200.
And I have some good ones laugh.gif

Allright, lets try this again.
How do we play Animated GIF files?
Downloaded the MM flash player, saved gifs as different file types, still can't get animation.
I see some flash players out there, none free that I found, but any other way to play these files on PPC? dry.gif

Had some time to mess around. Downloaded:
http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/myextensions.shtml
free file association program.

Changed GIF and swf files to associate with Internet Explorer.
I can now play the gif files on IE, but is is slowwwww! And trying to stop it from playing and closing IE, doesn't work like normal. Takes some time to get it to close
I can mess with the file sizes and see what happens there.

But as far as the Flash files, they will not play on IE. The IE window opens, and the file starts loading, but nothing. Phone locks up and only thing I can do is a soft reset. I have the MM plugin downloaded, but it still will not play.
Any ideas?

Messed around this weekend.
Stopped the infinite looping in some gifs. Set to defined number of loops and they end. Can play with pIE and they work fine.
Still can't get the Saved Flash files to play with pIE.
Anyone have any ideas or use anything other than/ or use a stand alone Flash Player?
