Question Animation (kind of)

[solfinker]

I want to make an animation - animated gif, swf from adobe flash - and visualize it on a windows form before the real application starts - a kind of splash screen
I suppose I can use the webbrowser and embed the animation in an html file.
Is there an easier way of doing it?
What do you suggest?


Thank you very much for your help.

And using a sequence of images in several equal-sized pictureboxes?

My attempt:

Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal Sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
PictureBox1.Visible = False
PictureBox2.Visible = False
PictureBox3.Visible = False
PictureBox4.Visible = False
PictureBox5.Visible = False
PictureBox6.Visible = False
PictureBox7.Visible = False
PictureBox8.Visible = False


seq = seq + 1
Select Case seq
Case 1
PictureBox1.Visible = True
Case 2
PictureBox2.Visible = True
Case 3
PictureBox3.Visible = True
Case 4
PictureBox4.Visible = True
Case 5
PictureBox5.Visible = True
Case 6
PictureBox6.Visible = True
Case 7
PictureBox7.Visible = True
Case 8
PictureBox8.Visible = True
Case Else
Timer1.Enabled = False
End Select


End Sub

If you create an animated GIF then you can just display it in a PictureBox like any other image.
