Arrrrrrr! For some reason, MX '04 won’t put out my GIF animated, even after I go into publish settings and mark it as animated, loop forever. I’m on a mac, and neither internet exploiter, safari or firefox will display my GIF as anything other than a static image. Anyone got some knowledge to drop on me?

And it doesn’t even let me post an image from my desktop! WTF?! :fight:
