Same here.. I know some Flash and have created a lot of animated .gif images. But this PIM stuff looks funky. I'm wondering if "animated" just means "color changing" If thats the case then we would be very limited.

well, the animations dont seem like animations, just one pic to another, fading into each other, but for an animation i guess make 20images and have it fade into each other, or something, but i guess that would be programing or something.

i dont even think its that elaborate... looks like color cycling.. same picture but some of the colors change in a pre-determined way.... i have no clue what would do that.

It looks to me like they use some of the semi-transparent 'colors' to draw the image, then have a color cycle background underneath. Pretty lame that they call it 'animated'.

For what its worth, I can't create an image that DOESN'T have the dumb transparency in it.

well look at the "animated water" its two or three pics thasy just cycle
