Problems with After Images in Animated Gifs

[Michael Bishop]

Seasons Greetings Everyone.

I came onto this discussion group about 3 weeks ago asking if I could have
layers fade into view as they move across the page. I recived no answers on
this board but the upshot of the whole attempt was that I could not have layers
do this.

So I just made one big animated gif using Fireworks 8 and it I got what I
wanted. I optimized it the best I could so the download time would be as short
as possible.

I wanted the animation to go through the motions just once and not loop
around. This seems to work on firefox and Safari, but I am haveing problems
with other browsers. I think I haven't emptied the cach properly and that I as
seeing an earlier attept that did loop. I am sure I can work around this.

My problem is that other than firefox my animated gif leaves some unwanted
after images that dissapear soon enoungh but still ruin the whole effect. I am
sure there is a way to stop this. Would some of you be so kind an look at my
website and see if you know how to stop this after image problem?

Take a look and give me some advice if you can. Remember I did this in
Fireworks 8 I set the transparancy at index not alpha . (I really had an after
image problem with alpha.)

Thank you for your time.
