I thank all you guys for all of your help. Honestly I have just started making sigs yestarday. I have never tried to do any graphics before....ever. I think I'm catching on to it pretty quick, because I'm already upping the difficulty level beyond what any of my friends are doing, lol. I will go try to go through those instructions, step by step, here in just a minute. I could not have done it without all of your help. Thank you. I'll be back sooner or later.

Nader .... part 4 ...
ok so now you are in Image Ready and as dv8_fx said you need to put your background into every frame of your ani ... so
11. in the layers pallete make sure that all of the eyes are switched off on every layer and your base layer
12. select your first frame (in the animation window)
13. in the layers pallete select your background image by switching on the eye
14. do the same for layer1
... refer pic below ...

Nader .... part 5 ...
now do the same with the second frame but select layer2 ... third frame select layer3 and so on ... refer pic below

Nader

okay, im starting on this right now
im going to do it step by step, thanks for your help.

Nader

i dragged the static down into my animation image, but i dont know how to make it my bottom layer and rename it. could you help me with this little step here?

Nader

i figured out how to make it the base layer and rename it.

Nader

namvet, i have done all the steps so far, i am ready for the rest of the instructions, and i couldnt thank you more, this is great, im learning new things.

[righton] .. well done Nader ....
ok now for step 6 ...
you now have 12 frames in the animation window ... if you were to run (test) the animation in your browser (refer left hand pic below) your whole image would be grey and black (all the red is missing) .... the cause of this is in the optimize window (refer right hand pic below) .... in this area I had to experiment to fix it .. what I did was change the custom setting to web which gave me auto in colours ... I changed auto to 256 ('cos I can always reduce the colours later if I wanted) .... anyway it worked and the red came back ... there are probably better ways to sort this problem as there are probably easier/better ways to animate your image in Image Ready, but this is how I did it ... hope it all works well for you ... if you get stuck ask for help there's heaps of helpful people here ..... oh, and btw ... welcome Nader ... oops nearly forgot that[innocent]
