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
This is really helpful. Thank you.

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?

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.

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.

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