FrontPage active graphics

[Guest]

I'm developing a webpage using FrontPage 2000. I want to have a graphic of a fish swim across the page - entering on the left, leaving on the right, and continue while the page is open. So far, the artist has developed the graphic as an AVI file but when he sends it to me and I try to insert it, it opens only with RealOne Player and I don't want a player involved. I want the graphic only to automatically move across the page. Do I want the graphic somehow imbedded in the page? If so, how do I do that? Thanks.

see if your artist can output the file as a .swf (flash)

the avi isn't really what you want since not everyone will have the player
and if they don't they'll get prompted to download it or simply not see the
fish.

Have the Artist convert the AVI to a Flash file format.

You can do this by converting the avi to a animated .gif
or a Flash file swf.
Or, you can use DHTML to move it across the screen. This
can be done very easily in FrontPage 2003.
