OK have made up lots of different anims this most recent one seems to work OK it is a choppy movement but to get smooth movement would have to make way too many frames. This one has a file size of 2megs which is much less than the 7 megs and works fairly quickly on my 3G wifi connection
Think that I will stick with this one

It's still pretty slow for me on a 6mb DSL connection. Is it supposed to be sky painted? I just see a light blue background when painted now too.

Yes I have changed it to be a plain blue background. The jerky motion comes from my setting each frame to run for a second When you run each frame for like a third or a fourth of a second the brush races across the screen and you cannot really tell that it is a paint brush painting this way you know what it is if I was to have smooth slow movement would have to have gobs of frames. Am using 10 or 11 frames here and it goes on out to the edge if you had a 1920 res screen the brush goes on out to the edge of the screen When I put up my large wide screen it looks good. I used to have a galloping hore guess now I will have a painting brush Its a one shot so that it is less distracting can refresh the pg if you want to watch it run again

Greg, what is that wee 'casino' link just below the counter doing there? Your site may risk being classified as spam because of it. Seems to come with the counter, and if removed, the counter doesn't work, I didn't notice it earlier for all the clouds. If I were you, I'd look for a different counter.
