Delay Animations

[dagaffer]

I dunno if this is in the right place...
Can I delay an animation from playing before the full page has loaded up?
Thanx, Gaffer:thumbsup:

Yes, you could use the setInterval() method to check repetetively if the document is loaded, then, through javascript, begin playing the movie.

You can also do it with the actual gif, if you have fireworks just go to the frames in the bottom right of the screen. Then set a time limit of 300 = 3 seconds (do that for the first frame):D
With flash you can put in a pre loader 10%-100% then the movies plays when thats loaded everything.

There was a good answer on this topic a few months ago where you show the first frame of the gif, then onload, it starts the regular gif animation. Try a search here.:D

Originally I didn't think that I was cross-posting, but i just got a bit confused! I realised that javascript would've been the better place for it but I didn't know how to stop this 1:confused:
But otherwise, Sorry.
