We have a video with animated button, this button move at 12 image per second (half the rate of PAL). This button work very weel on all player only if we do not change colors between selected state and action state. Because of the mouvement of the button, the width and height of the button is 718 * 574. Some players can't change the colors of the button while this button move. Do we have to reduce the size of the bvutton area, or do you think that some players can change the colors of an animated button wich play at this rate.

Hi Libeo,

I'm not aware that this information is well-known, so I'm afraid you may just have to use trial and error. In his article, Uli recommends a much lower frame-rate for animated buttons of a larger size, to maintain player compatibility. And, all the commercial examples I'm aware of use small button highlights. Perhaps you should try posting this question to the Tully list?
