RE: Can Animated Gif's Be Used in Milonic Menu?

Hi Amelia,

While helping someone else out some time back, I used animated gifs in
the menu items.  It works just like using a static image.  You can also
use flash animations within the menu item.

Version 3 is probably the most widely used version still, but version 5
is nearing completion (third release candidate now I think, but it may
be even further along... haven't checked in about a week).  If you use
it on an intranet in a commercial enterprise, I believe you must still
purchase a license.

Hope that helps,

Kevin

Subject: [Milonic] Can Animated Gif's Be Used in Milonic Menu?


We are using the milonic menu on our Intranet since the spring.  It is a
hit, a nice improvement to our previous design.  I have been asked to
add a link for our Emergency Policies which flashes or has some special
effect. Is it possible to include an animated gif on one particular menu
item?  I looked at the image samples which I will proceed to
incorporate.  However, this particular link needs either a different
color or some animation for it to stand out.  If worse comes to worse, I
was thinking of adding a few icons, maybe animated (like on yahoo.com)
for special links.  I appreciate any ideas or thoughts anyone may have.

On another note, is 3.0 the current version to use; I noticed 4.0 (to be
called 5.0) is to be released soon.  Also, I didn't hear back in past
when I downloaded the menu so I assume it is okay that we are using the
menu since we are a hospital using the menu on our local Intranet.

Thanks for any help or advice about the animated gif.
