How do you make your Myspace layouts animate WITHOUT using Animation Shop? Any good programs?

I`m talking about when you make layouts for your own profile. How do you make the words or whatever animate without using Animation Shop? For those who know how to do it, what program did you use? What are some good programs?



How do you make your Myspace layouts animate WITHOUT using Animation Shop? Any good programs?

xoxo,



there's really only two ways to do animation on any kind of web-page be it myspace or what have you. The most common is plugins for flash or other kind of macromedia/java program. These are extensive programs that require a lot of programming effort to pull off. The other, simpler way is to do an animated give which always involves using a program such as the one you mentioned. An animated .gif is just a picture that the browser reads in and displays different sections of, to produce the "page flipping" type of animation you normally think of...each part of the animation is stored inside the file and the browser handles the display and the timing of it all. That's probably the best way to do things in myspace. The only program I have ever used to do this is called "GIF construction set"...it is a pay program, but I believe there's a free trial download/shareware version. I doubt that it's any easier to use than Animation Shop, though I haven't used that program.



hope this helps.
