I need help/advice with a sig

onthepequod · 05-31-2001, 10:23 AM

I found an animated gif I like, located at the animation factory web site, that is free for personal use. I have tried to download it to no avail. I can download the picture but I lose the animation.

Could someone walk me through the best way to get and animated gif from a site. I have tried the right click "save target as" option and have just saved a link to the site. I also have tried the "save picture as" option which of course gives me the picture with no animation. I am a rookie (as is probably obvious) when it comes to this sort of task so if anyone would please walk me through this it would be great.

Hmm, have you opened the picture and seen if the animation is left?

You can give me the link and I can try to get it downfor you if you like,

Yep. When I opened it there was only the picture.

If you wouldn't mind taking a look, that would be great. Of the two ships, it's the one on the left with the lighter sky. Here is the link.

Thank you Wolfgir! You are a big hlep!

So what did you do? Or more acurately, what didn't I do?

Hmm I don´t know.. I went to the link and Clicked the picture and just drag and dropped it to my desktop (Mac) the same as right click/save as and saved the gif. After that I open them up in explorer (quickest program to start) and checked it out.. Well you might have opened it in a program that doesn´t support the animation sequence of a gif, or might have downloaded a thumbnail of it..

I right-click on the image and select 'Save Image As', stored it on my floppy disk

oh I just realized what you were talking about...
no the image does not move if you opened it under certain programs such as Microsoft Image composer, Word, Image, ...
I opened it with my Frontpage 2000 and Microsoft GIF Animator, inserted the pic, and previewed it

works fine
