Opening of GIFs

When Animated GIFs are opened in scratch it only loads the first image. Would be nice if it loaded each frame as individual costume.
Thanks Josh  smile

Re: Opening of GIFs

I think I understand what you mean - does this help?:

What you should try is making a new sprite (in edit mode) and make a dot.  Next, go to the costumes section of your new sprite and click "import" (not import new sprite, import new costume).  Next, select your .gif.  The frames should all be new costumes.  Delete the first "dot" costume and you're done!

On the topic, I think that this should be made more obvious (perhaps the "import costume" dialogue could have a "help" button that tells you how to import a GIF as seperate costumes?)

Re: Opening of GIFs

But it would be nice if it loaded them all automatically.
