Thierry:

You don't really explain what's wrong with the GIF -- Appearance?  Playback
rate?  Something else?  Anyway, here are a few things to try...  Make sure
the GIF sits on the same background color in your stack as it does on the
Web page.  If the GIF doesn't seem to render properly within Rev try setting
the constantMask of the imported GIF to true.  If the speed of the GIF is
wrong in Rev, set the repeatCount of the imported GIF to 0 and using a
looping script to update the GIF's currentFrame, using "send in..." or
similar.
