Need some suggestions on inserting Animation

[ShawnCoutts]

I am a little confused as how to go about adding an animation to my program.

I have looked at the TAnimate, and am thouroughly confused. If I can get away from it, I would like to use something other than an AVI.

The Animation I would like to use is simple, and I am only providing it for feedback to the user.

these are the frames for the animation i would like to use. Can someone give me an idea on how I can implement this?

I thought about using 3 buffers, and just switching between them after a specified time interval, but as my app is not multithreaded, the onTimer event will force everything else to quit.

Thanks

Shawn

well, if you talk about feedback, can't you use real progress indicator instead of meaningless dots?

I suppose I could at that.

lol. Thanks for the suggestion.
