RE: [OpenMap Users] Animated icons as OMRaster Objects?

I forgot to mention -- I was doing something involving recentering and
repainting the map at regular intervals, you will need to repaint regularly
to see the animations.

But the problem you mention, with it not showing up at all sounds like a
problem with the image not being ready or something? There are earlier posts
on this, for example I found this one:
http://openmap.bbn.com/mailArchives/openmap-users/2001-05/0036.html

But that post mentions that the OMRaster will complain that the image isn't
ready. Are you seeing any exceptions or anything? I don't think I've ever
had it just show up, without any warnings -- anyone else?

Thanks,
Kim

No, it is not showing up at all. I am adding this icon to a specific layer,
and my other icons on that layer are all showing up.

Hi Stacy,
Does the icon show up at all? i.e. it is showing up but it's not animated?

Hi Kim,

I attempted it with the following code, but alas, there is no flashing blue
icon on my map:

    ImageIcon ii = ImageCache.getImageIcon("anim_blue.gif");
    OMRaster omr = new OMRaster(34, 44, 0, 0, ii);
    addGraphic(omr);
    omr.setImageIcon(ii);
    omr.setVisible(true);
    ii.setImageObserver(this);
    repaint();

Any insight?

Thanks,

Stacy

Hi Stacy,
I did that once. It was just like adding a non-animated image to a layer --
I created a javax.swing.ImageIcon with the animated gif file, passed that to
the OMRaster constructor, and sure enough there was a fire-breathing dragon
on my map. :)

Hi everybody,

I have a fairly straight forward question:

Has anyone used an animated .gif as the icon for an OMRaster graphic? I
would like to place a flashing icon on a layer of a map. If anyone has done
so or knows if this is possible, please share your knowledge!

Thank you for your time.

Best regards,

Stacy
