68 Working with Graphics, Animation, and Multimedia
 As when importing images, either drag out a size region on the
page or simply click once to insert the GIF. For fastest image
display, reduce the original image dimensions to the needed size
prior to importing.
The animation won’t move on the WebPlus page, which only displays
the first of the GIF’s multiple frames. But keep it on your page so it’s
available when it’s time to preview the Web site.
You may wish to try the animated marquee effect, too—click the
Insert Animated Marquee button on the left toolbar.
 Before continuing to the next chapter, remember to save your
work.
Adding sound and video
WebPlus lets you augment your Web pages with sound and video files
in a variety of standard formats, including both non-streaming and
streaming media. As noted above, it also supports Flash animation, a
movie format in its own right. You can include linked sound or video,
triggered by a mouse click (for example on an icon or hyperlinked
object. In addition, you can define background sounds where a sound
loads and plays automatically when a specific page is first displayed in
the visitor’s Web browser.
