gui gif trnasitions help needed.

[cryton2707]

Hi,

I wonder if you can help me plz

Ive got 2 transparent gifs and Im wanting to do a fade from one to the other.

Now my problems are comming from.

If I use WinSetTrans. then this a breaks the transparency of the gif and sets the transparency of the object, also it flickers badly.

Also I want to fade just a component of the gui (not the whole gui) which I cant get to work with the dll call .

CODE

DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "AnimateWindow", "hwnd", $hwnd, "int", 2000, "long", 0x00080000); fade-in gui

as this wants to animate the whole window.

Ideally I want to

a. create a gui.

b create a picture (transparent gif) and fade from gif A to gif B which is also a transparent gif.

But I'd settle for a gui with an element that I can fade one gif out and fade another gif in.

can any one help

Thanks is advance

Off the top of my head, it seems like I've managed this before, but I can't find my script in which I did it. Here's how (I think):

-Create a webpage element:

$oIEwin=ObjCreate("Shell.Explorer.2")oÝ÷ غv+bÚ2¢êÆP®¶­sbb33c¶ôWvSÔuT7G&Ä7&VFTö&¢b33c¶ôWvâÇÇÇrÆoÝ÷ Ùjâµë½êÚtÌ-ø¥zÊZ¶,¶Þv)ôߧâéÚíZÝ7éø¥zv¦{h§¶¬{¦¦W®²)à)^Z¸­x¸§{*.綶[[¡ÜÊ%¢oÝ÷ ÙÚ0«^½êò¢ìÛh|¨º»®*m¶§Â§Ê°j{m¡özÚ2¢êç{`û¬y«­¢+ØÀÌØí½%Á¹¹Ù¥Ñ ÀÌØí¥±¹µÈ

then rewrite $filename1 to contain your third gif, if desired.

-continue rewriting and reloading $filename1 and $filename2 and the IE window should handle the fading for you. Since the background matches your GUI's background, it looks like it's transparent and a part of your window. The only problem I don't remember if I solved is how to remove the "dropped" look of the IE object on the GUI (with its border making it clear it's a separate part of the GUI). There should be a way to remove the border, but I don't know for sure.

There's probably a better way too, but someone else will have to have a brilliant idea and tell you about it...this is the best I can come up with

Hope it helps even a little!

"There should be a way to remove the border, but I don't know for sure."

From lod3n: $oIE.document.body.style.border = "0px"

"There's probably a better way too..."

Me. I would use a small Flash movie, .swf.

But you need to make one.

I usw SWiSHmax a cheap version to make .swf's but I am sure thare are others even free.
