Ok... here's what I have so far. As you can see in the picture, the star is in three colours, black, red and white. Now I can get the three colours to work in GifBuilder, but not when I try in a folder. I have saved all 4 parts (stars and picture) in .tiff. Thought that I would put all the bits into Gif. but I think I may have gone wrong with the "program???' I had the stars working in 'Disolve' mode and it looked good (for me). :) I like your pumkin, puts my questions to shame.. LOL So...my questions are:- 1.. Do I put the picture into GifBuilder as well? 2.. How does the progame work. I type in what it say in the tut. but when I 'drag' the little icon into the text, it comes up as a question mark, which is probably what is stopping the whole damm thing. :) 3..The three stars are on top of each other which if I'm just wanting it change colour, is where they should be....yes? Thanks for your help with this, I'd be totally lost if I had to try and work this out myself. Only having had the computer a couple of years and being in the 'older' age group, people like you a great help to people like us. :m_handshake:
