I can only see one frame... it doesn't play like it should

And this goes for anything thats animated. I think it has something to do with my flash player.. idk

[.vision]

make sure your flash is up-to-date ;)

It's up 2 date.. I have Adobe Flash Player 9.. to I need Shockwave player to?

[SaIRoS]

GIF animations have nothing to do with flash player I think it's your browser

[TakeChaser]

How do i fix that,,

I'm using I.E. 7 & Mozilla (Newest Version)

[bmiz]

first off...why would you use IE :P

second off....both teams can blow me <_< so who cares :D

[TakeChaser]

Ok.... well is there any idea on how i can fix this?

Hmm.. When did this start? What did you install last? Do you got a GIF program on ur PC? Like GIMP and others?

1. It's been like that ever since i bought my computer. so since Mid-August 2006. And it's like that for both of my computers.

2. Idk what a GIF program is. I don't think i have GIMP so probably not.

Also - being it happens on both my computers, could it have something to do with my LAN connection or a Firewall or something?

well, you'll first have to tell me if you see this animated:

:( It's not animated

[geepee]

damn thats weird
ask some help on technology sites

[freecandy]

Ask Crom@t for help!!!!!

In FF go to Tools>Options>Content tab and make sure that LOAD IMAGES AUTOMATICALLY box is checked now right of it go to EXCEPTIONS and make sure that Tech-GFX isnt on the list

For IE>DO NOT USE IE

Check Firewall for blocked sites or image blocking,If U use ZonaAlarm go to
>Privacy>AdBlocking>Custom>Go to AdBlocking tab and make sure that ANIMATION box is UNchecked

[TakeChaser]

DAMN!!!

nothing. I'm using EZ FireWall from Road Runner.

Any idea on how to configure that?


EDIT: Also, I remember when I first downloaded Flash Player 9, Animated Images worked until i exited out of my browser. Then they haven't worked since.

[geepee]

maybe, you don't have the right plugins installed in your browser????

Where would i find these plugins?

[geepee]

for firefox:
flash:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/do...=ShockwaveFlash (http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash)
shockwave:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/

hope it helps you

-----------------------

just came up with some new ideas

1. your browsers cache/buffer may be full, clear it, check the options of your browser where you can clear it and you may be willing to make the size of cache bigger
2.in advanced options of IE you blocked animations of images, try going to advanced options>multimedia and check for options there
3. FF: go to the page: "about:config" this will show all the advanced settings of firefox: search for this: "image.animation_mode" double click it and a window will pop up, if it's something different than "normal", change it to "normal" (without the "" off course ;) )

[TakeChaser]

1 - deleted cache
2 - Didn't block animations in I.E.
3 - was already on normal..

and still nothing .... WTF :verymad:

did you try firefox?

because this is the first time i hear about such thing, which is logically isnt possible, i will ask you to change your Windows ... get a new one and try it out. dont just reinstall windows .. just get another one.

btw does they animate in windows Explorer or with viewing programs like ACDsee, Windows picture and Fax Viewer.

I'm using FireFox
New windows on both computers??? (cause it's the same for both computers)
they just don't animate. like. Flash animation or anything .swf animates..

Also, when i create a .gif animation in photoshop, I can preview it animated, but as soon as i save it and upload it, it doesn't animate for me anymore..

[TakeChaser]

I FIXED IT...

Sorry for double post but i figured it out.. My Firewall automatically considered this site to be a threat so it blocked it... So i manually fixed it and now everything is working...

YAY ME...
