Flash is also used to make interactive menu's and enhance a website. If you only want to do moving pictures which change at preset intervals (which you define) then you can use the Jasc Animation Shop - it comes with PaintShopPro, so you could download yourself a trial, see if it's what you want and then register it should you like it.
Should you wish to go a little more advanced and make interactive menu's, then I would reccomend FlashMX from Macromedia or SWiSH (have a search on google for it) - both are used to make SWF or FLA files which provide interactivity in websites.

Nope.. As far as I know, the only image file that supports moving images is GIF (this is with the exception of Flash)

140303 2003-04-30 20:25:00 I thought that PNG supported animation? Or is it just tranparence that PNG supports...

IE doesn't support PNG fully yet though :(

140305 2003-05-01 01:29:00 PNG also has a sister format MNG (Multiple Network Graphics) -=JM=- (16)
140306 2003-05-01 03:00:00 The programs i have on my computer are

Photoshop 6
Digital Image pro (microsoft picture it)
Paintshop pro demo
animination shop 3
flash mx

and i wanna make a moving graphic for picturetotv which is a computer program that makes a dvd movie out of photos on the computer...it has nothing to do with the internet....

and as mentioned earlier..the picturetotv program only has compatiability for the following files...
BMP, JPG, PNG, TIF, PCX, PGM, PICT, TGA, WMF, EPS....

and if u mention mng is a moving graphic file...and its a sister format of PNG will it work?

140307 2003-05-01 06:02:00 Hmm . .
Maybe I should've put a disclaimer on that :p

Okay, now to recover your pictures back to the Windows/Fax viewer:
Open My Computer
Click Tools > Options
Click the "File Types" Tab
Scroll down to BMP then Click Advanced
There should be some options listed like "Edit", "Open" and "PrintTo"
Click Open and then click Edit
Where it says Action it will say open, then where it says application used to perform action change it to "rundll32 . exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\shimgvw . dll,ImageView_Fullscre en %1" (without the quote marks)
Put a tick in Use DDE and that will fix it . Repeat for the other formats like JPEG, JPG, JPE, GIF, etc . Don't worry if the other formats don't have all the options as BMP does, Provided they have OPEN this will restore the images back to the Windows Fax Viewer

Sorry about that - I forgot that PSP liked to hijack image files . . . . :8}
