Notes for folks new to animated icons in Revolution...
1. Download from the address above
2. Unzip to the gif
3. Import the image file into your stack
4. Make a note of the image's ID
To Start the animation, type this in the message box...
set the repeatCount of img id [theImgID] to -1
To stop the animation, type this in the message box...
set the repeatCount of img id [theImgID] to 0
To implement in a button (so you can use a single image anywhere and as many
times as you want without duplicating it), simply set the icon of the button
to [theImgID] and use the same lines above to start and stop as required.
