Hey there,

Yes i tried UIWebView, but unfortunately it's extremely temperamental about what gifs it will animate. Apart from stuff which is *really* small, you have no chance.

Not to mention, it is a fair bit of overhead if all you want to do is animate a single gif. :)

Cheers, out of interest have you tried using a UIWebView?

Thanks again and you are a great help
