Look at the Animate property of the class.

Unfortunately there is no help for this class or unit. But, this class has
been around for a long time prior to RAD 2007. Do a newsgroup search
(http://groups.google.com) for "tgifimage animate" and you should find
plenty of examples and suggestions.

What are you drawing the gif on? Is it loaded in a TImage? If so, then the
question is "How do I prevent flicker in TImage". If you do a newsgroup
search for "TImage flicker" you should get plenty of ideas. If it is not in
a TImage then post again but the same principle that avoids flickers in
TImage will usually apply to whatever else you are doing.

Personally, I just set the "DoubleBuffered" property of the parent to true.
This property must be set at runtime since it is not published. The
constructor of the form is a good place to do this.

HTH,

I've been trying to find a way get the flicker out of GIF animations
(TGIFImage) for YEARS. This really helped. Thanks!
