Hi

When I use animated GIF in image component, the image container shows nothing.  
I use 7.9.9 and as I know thisversion should support GIF in image component. I try the label component for GIF and it works except I cant scale the image.  
can anyone confirm this is a bug or there is some option that I don’t about.  
Thanks.

I can do this by setting the Stretch Mode to No Stretch but it also doesn’t scale

Thanks scicco. yes this works but I really need scaling here otherwise I need to create the actual size that I need in Photoshop each time.  
Here I want to scale my fire GIF animation dynamically related to gas flow tag.  
Is this a bug?  
does anyone know to how handle this problem?

Your post is old, but I was looking for a solution for why adding an animated GIF was not working on a new project in 7.9.14, and I had used them in the past with no problems. In any case, adding the GIF to a label was not an acceptable option. After trying a few things, I found in the Property Editor–\> Image Manipulation–\> Stretch Mode needed to be set to “No Stretch”
