GIF animation custom control weird behaviour

Hi,

I have created a GIF animation and I am using it as a custom control image. When i go back into LabVIEW from the control editor the animation works fine. Then when I close the VI containing the animated control and open it up again, the GIF animation plays up. As it progresses through the image frames of the animation sequence it shows previous frames at the same time. Does anyone know if there are specific GIF formats that LabVIEW only accepts? One thing I noticed is that when I set the animation to perform its sequence once, LabVIEW plays the GIF animation continuously. I have tried this in LabVIEW 6.1 and 7 and they both have the same problem. Has anyone had this problem?

When I am in the control editor, I save th
e control into a ctl file in the same directory as the VI and it makes no difference.....

Any help will be appreciated...

I found this example and it seems to work ok for me.
Animating LabVIEW Controls

LabVIEW in general does not decode etc the gifs, so you may not be able to control the gifs as much as you would like. I can´t put a gif in labview
