Mike,
Thank you for your reply. I tried animated gifs before. The problem there
was the players. In a scientific animation with 10 images, it does not help
me seeing all these within 0.5 seconds in certain players. Thus one had to
search for a while to find a reasonable player. I really want to go with a
standard like quicktime or WMP that everyone has.
Greetings,
Haje
