In my opinion the web needs an image format that can be animated to an extent because it is as MattEvans said easier to implement and I what i was trying to say before was that Flash is just going to get more and more complex which is just going to make the file sizes bigger and bigger.
I think we just need a simple frame by frame animated image format for now... personally I think gif does the job pretty well. And as i said before PNG is no replacement.

agreed, flash is proprietary anyway so cannot really be an option. i'd like to hear more about mng as nobody has covered this yet. i feel that there would maybe be advantages/disadvantages to using them and having the animations seperate from images like png/mng rather than bundled into one.
Also if I may add another idea to the soup, I read recently that you can use png or other image formats in CSS to create animated css and i would love to hear more about this too.
Thanks for all the responses so far

Do you mean like rollover animation? I suppose you could use gifs on hover which could create an animted effect. Other than that i am not sure... but very interested. Maybe you could link us to the article?

im certain that animating an image in css would require some scripting and as far as im aware css contains no scripting?

yeh... well You could make it look like its animated but it wouldn't be css doing anything more than just swapping one image with another

Good luck with the googling because that code doesn't show anything really.

lol i dunno, again i expect it has its advantages/disadvantages. i noticed its use while groping google more in the sense of on-hover animation of link images. which were really cool.
http://www.webreference.com/programm...ion/index.html
this is the original one i believe
as you can see it runs without doing anything.
after much googling it seems that a lot of people actually like the flip book idea and think its funny.
anyway that just leaves MNG because while animated CSS is cute and fun, it's no fun to make. anyone ever made an MNG? i'm gonna rip out gimp and rtfm and see if i can come up with something.
