If a GIF is running on another card I really wonder how you determine
that.

Put an animated GIF on a card, and this in the stack script:

on idle
   put the currentFrame of img 1 of cd 1
end idle

Then go to another card.

Here, a quick test confirms Jacque's hunch; the Message Box only updates
when I'm on the card with the GIF.


Clever. So I got curious, what would happen if the stack is moved offscreen? Result: it still updates. What happens if you hide the image? Result: it doesn't update.

I kind of knew that last one already, I've hidden "busy" gifs before without any repercussions.
