Creating animated JPG movies in a single image call

would work similar to an animated GIF...

[gieckboy]

Hi all - I've got a strange problem here that I could use some help with:

I need to animated a series of JPG images but I need to have all the images come from a single image call. I've already seen several solutions that will let me animate JPGs but all of these require changes to the image call (ie: a href="image01.jpg, image02.jpg, image03.jpg, etc)

Since I need the image call to remain fixed I'm guessing I'd need some type of server based script to rotate image files through the fixed image call - possibly by resaving the images as the desired filename? Does anyone know of a script that can do this?

Thanks for any help!

Is this a slide show? What rate are they animated?

It'd need to be flexible but somewhere around 1 pic per second. Not movie quality in other words.

I vaguely remember seeing some perl scripts for image slideshows a while back. Couldn't those be modified to do this?

Might be a nice job for Flash -- it can import jpg files to create a movie.

In the past, I've done something similar with iframe. Put your images in the secondary pages and use a series of redirects to loop them.

I believe something similar could be done using dhtml to load a div and then rotate it on a timer script.

rcjordan - I ended up using iframe and it worked perfectly. Thanks for all your help guys!
