More than one Gif Player on a web page

[Ripsaw]

Apologies for raising the topic once more but I was wondering if there is a limit to the Gif size used in the Gif Player?

[Beverleyh]

No limit, either with the physical dimensions (the play/pause/loading spinner icons are self-centering) or the file size.

Why do you ask?

[Ripsaw]

Sorry I should have specified that I meant file size. I am having a problem with some of the larger Gifs playing smoothly and at the wrong speed.

[Beverleyh]

I don't think that's the script. Try embedding the large gif in your web page in a standard <img> tag and compare how it behaves to when it's in the player. Playback of gifs differs between browsers too.

[Ripsaw]

You are correct: the Gif embedded in straight <img> code behave exactly the same way. Do you know any way I can improve matters?

[Beverleyh]

Maybe try to make the file size smaller. Depending on what software you're using you might be able to delete frames (or re-compile at fewer frames per second) and reduce the colour palette. If there are any transparent regions, block them out with a solid colour.

Hope that helps

[Ripsaw]

That is helping. Thank you very much for your help again

No problem
