Thank you for reply Andy. I downloaded 'AQWA Sequence Player' is pretty!!
My application consists in an keyFraming Animator. The user constructs a scene
with a few primitives (cube, sphere, biped - similar a skeleton - ) , then he
move every visual object to setting every keyframe. The animation is achieved
with a cubic interpolation( a TCBSplinePathInterpolator ) the collection of
keyframes.
When the user start the animation an Alpha is started and the animation is shown
in another frame. My problem is to achieve more control over the reproduction
(like play, rewind, ..).
I attempted to change Alpha's start time with middling quality. No rewind, no
advance correctly :( !! .
am I on the right track ?
I am also interested to get a GIF89a from a Java animation. Is possible to get a
gif file from a BufferedImage ?
Any ideas welcome.
