*.gif Animations in Lazarus

« on: July 20, 2011, 10:30:54 pm »

I was trying to get a .gif file working in Lazarus, but Lazarus does not have any component for it.

I tried a few third party components, but i couldn't get any of them working.

If anyone knows of a good .gif animation component pleas tell me.

I don't know, but you can use BGRASpriteAnimation to create animations from bitmap.

Is better than gif because you can use Alpha images.

Edit: now you can call AnimatedGifToSprite to convert any .gif animation you have and then load to BGRASpriteAnimation.

iirc lazarus has the htmllite components, and afaik it has a component (or at least code) to animate a gif
