Ok I am about to give up, I went to CoffeeCup GIF Animator reloaded all the clips and saved as fishflash2 and still same result on live view. I added it to the site usung VSD full version and in preview looks good but when uploaded not so much. http://www.beaconbaymarinarv.com/blank.html , http://www.beaconbaymarinarv.com/

I have each frame at "0" seconds , should I slow it down

When at first you do not succeed give up. Or! resort to impact management. Then again realize that you are in fact mortal, realize you must have done something wrong and go over every step. The solution is the last thing you go over. Been there done that. The prize is when you yourself discover your mistake and vow never to make it again. Real knowledge is hard won indeed.

The movie is not given time to complete. For an exercise create another movie and try different settings then view the result. A movie is played back frame by frame as you said 0 seconds for a frame to display is wrong. If there is a speed adjustment then consider, AVI is generally displayed I think at 25 frames per second therefore try 1/25 or 0.04 secs per frame. I could be wrong as I only use Flash as a toy. I like the gif idea or a wmv video for graphics and Flash for text effects. personally I would think rotating images of your fishing affairs would look better than fish flitting across a white background.

Indeed Obi-one Canoby!
