Hi

1) Animated images are not supported directly

(but if you want to use gif as graphics, you need to call

  RegisterClasses([TGifImage]);

  RV_RegisterHTMLGraphicFormat(TGifImage);

  TPicture.RegisterFileFormat('gif', 'Gif Image', TGifImage);)

2) You can insert component playing animation:

First, you need to use some class for playing gif animation.

For example,

    http://www.torry.net/vcl/graphics/gif/gifimage.exe (original)

    http://clootie.narod.ru/delphi/download_vcl.html (update)

Update is necessary!

The code for inserting animation:

var image: TImage;

    gif : TGifImage;

begin

  image := TImage.Create(nil);

  image.AutoSize := True;

  gif := TGifImage.Create;

  gif.LoadFromFile('d:\1.gif');

  image.Picture.Graphic := gif;

  gif.Free;

  RichViewEdit1.InsertControl( '', image, rvvaBaseLine);

end;

Besides, you need to call

RegisterClasses([TGifImage,TImage]);

somewhere at the beginning of the program (for example, in the

initialization section of the main form's unit).
