<section><title>Description</title> <p>OB This example is a UI application,

which demonstrates how to create and play basic and sprite animations. It

implements all the standard classes required by any application using UI controls

such as an application, a document, an application UI and a view. </p> <p>The

application provides UI controls to create a sprite animation and a basic

client-side animation. It also provides UI controls to control the behaviour

of an animation such as, start, stop, pause, resume and move. </p> <p>The

application plays an animated <filepath>.gif</filepath> file both as a basic

client-side animation and a server-side sprite animation. It performs the

following tasks in the order they are listed to create the basic and sprite

animations: </p> <ol id="GUID-5860A908-A761-5431-AB6E-EEBE4D7CF0FE">

</ol> <p>Once both the animations are started, the window server will automatically

draw the animations onto the window by calling the <codeph>Draw()</codeph> method. </p> </section>

platform build process</xref> describes how to build an application. But,

use <codeph>abld export</codeph> command before <codeph>abld build</codeph> to

copy the animated <filepath>.gif</filepath> file to RAM (<filepath>C:\</filepath> drive)
