How do I ?

[Ramchu]

  Hi !
   I am fairly new to linux graphics, I have been playing with Gimp and Xara Extreme.
 I would like to learn how to create a scrolling banner, but haven't the slightest idea how to even start.
 Would someone be willing to start me off in the right direction ?
  Thanks for any replies !!!!

There I made a GIF animation using the tips Jaws gave me.  You may be able to make a scrolling banner the same way.  I'm not sure, because I don't know what a scrolling banner is.

 Thanks, I looked over the link that you supplied ( briefly) and it may help.
 A scrolling banner would be something like ( Thank You Very Much ) in text, that would move across the screen( or a picture) from right to left or from top to bottom .
 Just like in your avatar, where it is showing the progress of loading your avatar.

Okay.  I think that thread will give you all the info you need.  Have a look at the "Targeted" logo I did.  if you click on it you should see it animate.

I think it's the same idea as what you're talking about.
