Animated images in flex headers

Frances O'Connell

Hi everyone,

I've heard rumors of animated images in headers. I'm assuming these were in Infomaker headers of yore, and are not supported in Flex Headers.  Unless--does anyone know if flex headers can handle .apngs, or animated .pngs?

Thanks,
Frannie

    I use a bouncing purple house .gif in our flex headers to denote a bad address, and it works pretty well. I've never tried .apng, but I image it would work the same.

    hi Melissa - cool! So the flex header can handle a .gif? I guess I thought from the documentation that the only image files it could display were .pngs.

    Yes, we have a mix of .gif files and .png files for our header icons.

     

    In TR_FLEX_HEADER_ELEMENT the Type is String, Description (for us) is Verify Address and Sql Code is:

    select top 1 at.description from LVS_CUST_ACTIVITY ca join TR_CUST_ACTIVITY_TYPE at on ca.activity_type = at.id where customer_no = @customer_no and ca.closed_ind = 'N' and ca.activity_type = 134 order by ca.issue_dt desc

    For Icon File we just point to a file on the server that holds the icons.

    This displays a jumping purple house on the header for a record that needs an address verification.

    Melissa,


    How very timely.  I was just looking at our flex header format this morning. Can you share the code you used with me?

    A slight aside on this topic. We are a RAMP client and moving images don't work via the remote server.
