GIF image not working....
I am making a game on scratch, and there is this one GIF image that will not work. Here is the image that is is giving me trouble:
http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm27/MoonPrincessMewMew/Sailor%20Moon/sailorvenus.gif
Is there any way I can get the whole sequence on Scratch? It's only been showing the first picture. Will you help me out?
Thank you,
RukiaKuchiki =-)

reate a sprite, a dot is all thats needed, then open up the costumes area (In scratch) then click upload, find the gif, and it will work.

Re: GIF image not working....
This happens with half of my animated gifs and sometimes I get so mad I want to kick Scratch and if Scratch isn't responsible for the bug, I'll blame Squeak, the programming language in wich Scratch was made in. But I don't know what to do to solve this problem!
Retired from Scratch, but just the language itself. Not the forums.

Re: GIF image not working....
Technically, it's possible to get all the GIF frames on Scratch by importing it as a costume (saving the GIF file, clicking on the costumes tab and selecting import, then choosing the GIF image). However, I'm getting a strange problem with the one in your link... nothing shows up after I import it! 
I've seen glitches happen for some GIF images being dragged or imported into Scratch. I'm not sure what is the cause. 
Your best workaround right now is to use a good image editor and export each frame individually. A good (and free!) one is GIMP. 
Everything is better when you add a little cheddar, because when you have cheese your life is at ease
