Hi All, Could you verify if always that we convert an animaated gif in a series of png images the resulting images are always smaller than the original animated gif?
Here is the recipe: 1) Create a new stack 2) create a button and paste this script into the button: (check for broken lines in the mail list server) ---------------------------------------------------------------- on mouseUp -- first, delete all previous images repeat with i = the number of controls of this card down to 1 if word 1 of the long name of control i of this card is "image" then delete control i of this card end repeat answer file "Choose an animated gif..." import paint from file it try put the framecount of img 1 into k repeat with m = 1 to k set the currentframe of img 1 to m create image set the width of it to the width of img 1 set the height of it to the height of img 1 set the imagedata of it to the imagedata of img 1 set the alphadata of it to the alphadata of img 1 end repeat repeat with i = 1 to the number of controls of this card put the long name of control i of this card into q if word 1 of q is "image" then put the size of q & comma after n end if end repeat delete last char of n -- a comma put item 1 of n into tAnimatedGifSize delete item 1 of n put sum(n) into tPngImagesSize if tAnimatedGifSize > tPngImagesSize then put "Animated gif is " & (tAnimatedGifSize - tPngImagesSize) & " bytes larger than png images" else -- sum of sizes of png images is larger -- than size of animated gif put "Png images are " & (tPngImagesSize - tAnimatedGifSize) & " bytes larger than animated gif" end if end try end mouseUp ---------------------------------------------------------------- 3) Click the button and import an animated gif Post your results in this thread, Thanks a lot in advance!
