"Screen mates" style animations
Does anyone know how I'd go about creating those screen-mate type animations, with a transparant background, so it appears that an animated character is walking across my desktop?
If you've seen the famous eSheep and various Message Mates cartoons, you know what I'm talking about.
Thanks.
Making anigif background transparent
I'm not sure you can make an animated gif file's background transparent. If so, it would probably be accomplished via some API call(s). And even if it is possible, it may not be possible in conjunction with the third-party DLL (gif89.dll) that I sent to you.
I suggest that you take our mutual question to www.visualbasicforum.com, where I often browse. There's a larger community of regular posters there, and many, many who are more advanced with VB than I.
I'd recommend putting up a post or series of posts demonstrating what you've accomplished so far, then post your question about how to get rid of the anigif's background color.
