GIF Image loading problem in an Dynamic Applet - urgent

[Gaurav]

I am making a Dynamic Banner Applet where each image has a specified amount
of time to be displayed.
The problem is that if the first image to be displayed happens to be an animated
GIF then the applet does not pick up the rest of the images after the amount
of time for the first image has expired. It keeps repeating the first image
itself.
The applet works in all other cases.

Hi gaurav,
The problem with applets is it has poor support for gif
pictures. When you load a GIF pix in yr applet,
the paint() method is called in an infinite loop and hence other
pictures do not get loaded. This can be verified by putting a
System.out statemnt in yr paint method and looking at the o/p in
the java console.
