Plugin Interface and Animation.

[Soggates-Nyan]

Hello!
I'm new to "H. I. S. E." and mostly interested in things about the interface part of it. The thing is – it is possible to load animated ".GIF"~file as a plugin background image, but it remains static. Is it possible to create animated background for my plugins? If it is possible, then by which means? I've seen the tutorial parts featuring animation how-to's for some plugin elements, but not for the background.

Thanks in advance.

.GIF files aren't supported, but you can of course use a filmstrip .PNG image to do the animations. You can animate as much as you want, but repainting the whole plugin with a framerate of 30fps is not very efficient.
