Hello XForms Mailing List,
I implemented "animated pixmaps" in my XForms application. The
way I did this was to simply call fl_set_pixmap_data() to have the pixmap
data pointed to by a Pixmap object point to another pixmap of another
frame of animation (BTW - the animation in question is composed of 23
frames).
However, this wasn't as simple as I thought. Because it appears
that my program crashes ... not only does it crash, but the whole X server
crashes (and thus I have to do a computer reset because the console then
gets stuck). I'm not 100% certain that it's my program causing the crash
.. but it sure looks like that (although, my CPU fan is kinda flaky ...
when it goes on the fritz, I get mysterious, sporatic, sig 11 errors ...
I'm gonna check it after this ...).
I'm wondering ... is the way I implemented animated pixmaps the
correct way? Or should I instantiate 23 pixmaps objects for each of the
23 frames of animation, and just hide/unhide the individual objects?
Thanks in advance for any help with this!
