How to programatically create an animated gif file that cannot autoplay - gif

Is it possible to programatically create a gif file that can't be auto played in a browser (desktop\mobile) and in common messaging applications?

hope this helps you!
Open the Animated gif in Photoshop.
Go to the Window tab and select timeline(if the timeline is not already open).
At the bottom of the timeline panel, you will find an option, which says "Forever". Change that to "Once".
Go to File> Export> Export for Web and save it as a gif.

Only load and play visible GIFs, pause no-longer-visible ones: is it possible?

I want to create an online GIF library. I don't have any code yet because I'm only asking if what I want to do is actually possible to achieve:
Only load and play the GIFs that are in the browser's view;
Pause GIFs that are no longer in the browser's view (after scrolling down)
Is this doable?
Please check this figure: 1
It is possible to load only GIFs in viewpoint and load new as you scroll.
It is possible to hide GIFs that are no longer in viewpoint.
You can't really pause images of GIF format. You would have to use some video format like WEBM or MP4, for pausing. For example, Facebook is using video to achieve "pausing gif" effect.

Chrome starts to display instead of downloading when click a video link

I have a simple question and I don't have a clue that how to achieve that.
When I click a video link even I add a download attribute, Chrome always show video instead of downloading it.
How can I force it to download video or other file types that display on Chrome by default?
Thanks.
Update
In Chrome, you can use Alt+Click to force downloading.
But anyway, I need a way that provide simply click to trigger download instead of playing it and if that way work on every browser that will be the best.

Hide Properly Download Button

I have an audio playing site and I want to prevent the users from downloading the sounds
from the HTML audio element download button. So I wrote:
<audio src="sound.mp3" controls controlsList="nodownload"></audio>
It works fine but I can delete the controlsList="nodownload" from inspect element and then
the download-button appears.
Any ideas of how to deal with it?
You cannot stop a user from downloading a file if you give him access to. When the user is reading the audio file on his computer, the computer is actually downloading the file in his RAM while playing it. Nothing can prevent the user from simply storing this data in his hard-drive.
The only way to stop the user from being able to download the file is by not letting him play it.
You can use DRM-wrapped content on the web. Here is a list of the web browsers supporting DRM content.
Everything you hear or you see on your browser is downloaded from different sources. How browser can write some text or play music if its protected by server/by you? Even if browser protect all these things from you for example if theres no way to download Rihannas new song from SoundCloud, you can allways record it. Sorry, but you can do nothing about that.

Dragging desktop images in a swf

Is there any possibility using the drag&drop technology for dragging desktop images onto a flash swf in a HTML document? I would like to be able to load images by dragging a image file from the desktop or file explorer and the traditional way of selecting it clicking the browse button.
Thanks.
It's possible to do that in AIR. See this blog post for a working example and some additional info: http://fbflex.wordpress.com/2010/01/15/how-to-drag-images-from-browsers-and-desktop-to-adobe-ai/

Force embedded swf file to open new windows in the current tab

I'm trying to prevent some embedded flash files from opening a new window. I would like it to open in the same window the flash file is embedded in.
I thought maybe to put the whole page into an iFrame but this doesn't seem to work.
You can use the FancyBox plugin to achieve this effect
There is an example illustrating how to do this for a swf file.
