LVZ/LVL Questions - Animation not Appearing

Post subject: Animation not Appearing

I have created an animation file, as a BMP. It is 94 Frames in length. When the lvz file is compiled it amounts to only around 1.45MB (1,523,712 bytes), well below the 4MB cap.

I have had successful animations of prior versions of the animation (34 Frames in Length), however when I access the zone, it no longer shows the animated image (94 Frames). I downloaded the LVZ file from the zone, then DeBuilt it. The image files are fine, and the code seems correct:

LVZ Code (After DeBuild):

Any help regarding this situation would be appreciated.

He can't. But what he failed in, is the fact that the uncompressed image is way too big for Continuum to even handle. I believe it also includes a hard-limit for each image, and I know for a fact that 16meg is well over that limit.

Thanks for helping. While the size of the file, it turns out, isnt the problem, it did get me on the right path to figuring out the problem.

The issue (which is now resolved) was that the filmstrip was too long. I had 94 Frames, all Horizontal [On A Single Row]. To remedy the situation, all i needed to do was to make the strip 2 rows. So now it is 47 cols 2 rows. It works great now.

Again, thank you for your help, I appreciate it.

You don't need it going 100 fps when continuum or your moniter is only going at 60.
