This gif normally loops infinitely, but when I uploaded this gif to my wordpress site (or anywhere online) it only loops once.
<img loop=infinite class="wp-image-161 size-full" src="http://i2.wp.com/yobd.digital/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/merge-lines.gif" alt="Merging Lines with a macro!">
You need to add application extension to force looping:
0x21,0xFF,0x0B,"NETSCAPE","2.0",0x03,0x01,0x00,0x00,0x00
Place it anywhere after GIF header and before first image header
for more info see Animated gif only loops once in Chrome and Firefox
After I done it to your GIF it loops:
You have to add "LOOP=INFINITE"

When we click on "What is VideoBook" link we got some blank screen before starting the swf file due to video fetching from the server. We have to avoid blank screen.
We are facing a problem of fetching the video clips from the hosting server. I added two video clips in Flash (.swf)... one is from the beginning, another one is at the ending and in between some text animations.
While we are playing/calling .swf file in browser from hosting server, initially getting blank screen. It takes some time to fetching the video clip from server due to size. Starting of first video clip duration is about 3-6 seconds. While video is being loaded.. text animation is starting without playing first video clip. Same problem we are facing in second video at the ending.
Is there any option to incorporate video clips internally in Flash (.swf file) rather than calling from external server or external file path?
Any help would be appreciated.
This happens because of the JavaScript that you use - it actually makes the swf files (in)visible depending on the situation. What this does is that it actually loads the .swf files each time. You can check that in the Network tab of your debugger (I'm using Chrome).
So it first loads Video-01d.swf, or Video-02.swf. They take time to load, and just when the main file is loaded, it starts to load the video file (video1.flv).
All that causes delay, and it's pretty normal as you have all that things in separate files. If you want to, you can merge them into one - just import the flv inside your .swf file and it will work out well..
Of course, you will need to change all your logic for the flash files that you are playing. You will also need to change the JavaScript to call Flash functions in order to tell it to go to another "scene".
I will advise you to add a simple gif loader image (like this), put it as a background-image of the div, and put some color into that div. What the user will see is that the movie disappears, there is a black background with a loading symbol inside, and then the new video begins. It's a normal thing to see online - preloaders :) Good luck!
I wonder if there is a way to prevent a browser from actually animating an animated gif, loaded in a <img> tag.
I just want it to display the first frame of the gif and don't play the animation.
I already fear that this isn't possible and I have to extract the first frame and render it to a canvas.
This is kinda an expensive solution, but if you reset image SRC on a very short setInterval it appears as static e.g:
setInterval(function() {
document.getElementById('img1').src = document.getElementById('img1').src
},1)

Maybe this is too simple an answer for you but you could just open the animated GIF in a image editing program of your choice, i.e. Adobe Photoshop or any other free one, and then just save out the GIF without the animation.
Then re-upload the new GIF (without the animation) to wherever you are serving your images from.
If you do use Photoshop you can simply open the file.GIF and go to Window>Animation in the Menu. This will display all the frames in the animated GIF in a new dialog box.
Just delete all the frames and Save As. Just don't overwrite the original with the animation if you will still need that later.
I have a phonegap application that loads external images.
sample img code:
<img src="http://example.com/hello.jpg">
Will use this code to put the gif with some css
<img src="loading.gif">
I want to show a loading gif on top of the image till the image has been loaded and hide the loading gif afterwards.
Want to know how to detect if image is ready and hide the gif.
Thanks
There are a few ways to do that. Off the top of my head and in order I'd try them:
Use phonegap's File API to download the image, and display it only once you've got it.
Use an XHR to download the image, and once you get the whole thing send it to the image via a data: URI.
Set your "loading.gif" image to a lower z-order than the foreign image, with the same left/top/height/width.
Use 'loading.gif' as a background.
I would like to display an animated gif on canvas with some transformations applied. To test things, I'm currently just trying to display the animated gif on the canvas, so that it is essentially equal to displaying the gif as a regular <img> tag.
I'm using Chrome and webkitRequestAnimationFrame. On each request frame, I draw the image. When the gif frame changes, this should be reflected on the canvas. This works only partially:
Just watching the canvas does not make it update. Instead, one, still frame is begin drawn.
Reselecting the tab (i.e. selecting another and selecting the canvas tab again) does update it to a new frame, but after that it freezes again.
This is a fiddle I set up: http://jsfiddle.net/eGjak/93/.
How can I draw an animated gif on canvas with it actually animating?
Answer no longer valid
It looks like the behavior described here (writing an img tag referencing an animated gif to a canvas results in different frames of the gif being written if the img is part of the DOM or visible) has changed at least in Chrome. There may or may not be documentation of what is correct behavior for this. :)
Also, webkitRequestAnimationFrame no longer has the behavior of taking one additional argument, an element X such that when X is not visible, the requested function will not run. For performance and battery life reasons, you may want many of the functions that you pass to requestAnimationFrame to check for visibility before they do anything that will require drawing.
Before:
Check out a fixed version:
http://jsfiddle.net/eGjak/96/
If you add a console.log() to the function that paints the image, you'll see that it is being called. The problem seems to be that the image itself does not animate, probably because the browser does not bother to update an animated image that is not part of the DOM.
My solution was to make the animated gif part of the DOM and size 0 and it works just fine.
You can verify that the animation is being shown on the canvas and not in the image tag by loading up http://jsfiddle.net/eGjak/96/show/ and inspecting the elements with ctrl-shift-I on Windows or Linux / alt-cmd-I.
EDIT: Here's a bonus!
webkitRequestAnimationFrame takes one more argument than the Mozilla equivalent to allow your animation to only run when the element that is being animated is visible. Check out
http://jsfiddle.net/kmKZa/8/
and open up the console. You'll see that when you hide the canvas, the animation function stops being called. When you toggle the canvas visible again, the animation function will be called again.
Is there any way, in HTML, to include an animated GIF in an <img> tag, but automatically tell the GIF to not animate? I realize that the user can stop animation by pressing ESC or clicking Stop, but I want the GIFs not to animate at all.
I only want to do this on one specific page, and making separate non-animated versions of the (1500+) GIFs is not feasible. I simply want the GIFs to not animate.
You could use Giffer.
Just include the library in your page:
<script type="text/javascript" src="gifffer.min.js"></script>
Instead of setting src attribute on your image use data-gifffer.
<img data-gifffer="image.gif" />
At the end, call Gifffer() whenever you want. For example:
window.onload = function() {
Gifffer();
}
If you don't want the GIF to move at all you can always edit the .js file to remove the play button.
Not with plain HTML but using PHP with imagecreatefromgif might help you
I don't think calling window.stop() will be a good solution. This would need to be called for every image that is loaded to prevent it from running half way through and stopping. The best solution is to use a library such as GD to create images featuring just the first frame of the animated GIF.
Use ImageMagik, and you can readily convert all 1500 images.
You could use window.stop() in javascript, which should be the equivalent of pressing ESC/clicking stop. However, I'm pretty sure it won't work in all browsers (i.e. IE).
