I've got an image that acts as a homescreen for our Internet kiosks.
It's currently an Illustrator file (saved as a jpeg).

Can someone put it into flash and make it move and dance about?

I'll slip them some paypal $$.

Ummm... thanks.

I wish you the best of luck. I'm sure that someone will be able to help you. A lot of talent on here.

Why is it that Mac users are so much more of a helping community than other online communities?

Thanks guys - very much obliged.

I think it is a love / hate thing. There is always that balance between helping each other and being complete jerks. This site has a lot of jerks, but that is what makes it fun.

Are you sure that's a good idea ?

Jumping and moving flash annoy the sh!t out of many people. Can't you do something a little more decent ? Or are you trying to keep people from using the internet kiosks ?

Those flash designers don't know where to stop. It's all flashy colors, sound fx, everything is moving... WTF ? What serious internet page needs that ?

all it is is a £1 image that needs to be animated.
i got home from the movies tonight and decided to play around with it and see what i could come up with. neilnet's instructions were to make it drop down from the top of the screen and repeat.

i completely agree with flash and how it can be very annoying. i assume that all this flash animation will be is a splash screen (the price) to get someone's attention to use the kiosk.

after playing around for a while this is what i came up with. not sure if it is the right direction or anything, but i thought it was pretty neat.

Don't get it. Can hardly see anything. Something is moving, can't tell what. Weird...
