oh god.... well at least i tried... transparency with a moving gif is a real issue in terms of rendering, not at simple as i thought it would be. also quality is a big problem for a moving image of that banner size. gif rendering is terrible. flash is the only way this can be done i think youre gunna need a PRO. (if this is even possible) also, cant find a site that will upload the .gif properly. anyway i really think gif isnt an option, youre gunna need flash. i did it, but its terrible quality with no transparency. x
