I would like to put in an animated gif file to my world class background. What is the code that will do that? Thank you -

Animated Gif
I did thank you. Now I need to know how to use the isRunning() method so that I can make the background animated gif work.
The 'isRunning' method only returns a true/false value that indicates whether the animation is currently running or paused. It is not used to run the animation. Setting the world background to the image returned by the 'getCurrentImage' is what runs the background animation.
After another quick glance at the class, I am surprised at the number of 'java.awt' classes that it imports. I know that the 'java.awt.Color' import will probably need removed. Also, I am with the understanding that the 'java.awt' package (specifically to the GifImage class, referring to the other 'java.awt' classes that are imported) was not going to work with the HTML 5 version of an uploaded scenario .

I am not sure where the code should be placed. Can you help me with this?
Along with your fields declared on lines 12 and 13, add a GifImage reference field and assign a GifImage object given your gif file:
The gif file should be in the 'images' folder of the project folder.
Line 25 should be:
This line initializes your world background image. The same line of code should also be in the 'act' method of the class to run the animation when the scenario is running.
private GifImage animation = new GifImage("<< gif filename >>");setBackground(animation.getCurrentImage());
