Anne M. –

I just uploaded it regular into Flickr and then used the option of “original image.”
I am a Flickr Pro account — not sure if that matters.
The animation did not work if I chose other sizes of the image to embed, just “original.”

Is The Gimp a site or software? I haven’t heard of it before.
Thanks
And I will check out that Ning site.

This is a nice little animation. I have had my students to The Gimp to create animated fish in a aquarium. It takes patience, but it is fun. We saved them as GIFs. There are only so many Nings a person can join, but I found and joined the Animation for Education Ning the other day. It might be of interest to you too. Ann

My kids love pivot but unfortunately the boys seem to like creating fights with blood and guts so that put me off. However, I like what you have done here and may revisit the site and encourage them to have another look at it. Where do you actually put it in flickr to get it to keep animating? Meant to tell you that if your day in a sentence proposal is successful, let me know and if timezones suit and you would like me to appear briefly outlining the wonderful networking it has given me, let me know and we might skype videoconference if you are interested in a guest appearance.

This is exciting stuff. Flash eh? I use a bit of Flash. I also use Photoshop ImageReady. I’ve never seen an animation on a blog before, not like that anyway.

This could be useful. You say you embedded the gif in Flash. Hmm. I must experiment.

Poor Icarus. He never really made it.
