Animated GIF questions

    Ok, I have been able to make some nice animated gif's with PS and IR, my question is: Can I make an animated gif with those two programs that has multiple links on it? For example see the attached, can I make it so there is a map on the image to click for polls, forum page etc...?

    I could only upload the non-animated version.

    thanks

    You won't be able to do that with an animated GIF.
    I suggest flash or a java applet...way better...

    I do have flash 8 and have tried to get started learning it but I seem to always have trouble. Can you import something from photoshop to flash and animate it there sort of like using image ready?

    For the record an image (ie a gif, jpg or png) is just that. There is nothing active or interactive about them. The link is added through html place around the image.

    Thanks sarahk I guess that is where my hope was concerning an animated gif, there is obviously code 'animating' it so I was hoping there was a way to place links on it.

    So if I import an animated gif to flash can it convert it somehow and then I can add hot spots (if that is what they are called) for links?

    the most simple way is making it in flash -> no java knowledge required
