In this article I will be discussing a few tricks to create the appearance of an image rotating.  You can’t actually programmatically rotate an image component in Cd Menu Maker so I came up with 2 ways to work around it.  The first way is to create an animated gif and place it in an HTML Canvas.  The second way is to swap images based on a timer.  In this article, I will be discussing the animated gif method.  This will require some knowledge of image editing software like Fireworks, Photoshop,  ImageReady etc. to create your gif file.

Note: You can visit download.com and search for “animated gif” to find inexpensive or free software to create your gif

After your gif is created, open up CD Menu Maker and Create a New Project.  Begin typing a name and select the Blank Project template.   Add your animated gif to your project by click Project > Add/Remove Project Files > Add File or Resource in the Menu bar.

Browse and locate your animated gif, click OK and Done.

Click the HTML Canvas component in the Add components panel, give it a name and click OK.   Type dep\YOURFILENAME.gif in the Initial page to Display box and click OK. 

Click Preview in the Project Toolbar to view the animated gif. 

To remove the scroll bar and border, simply place the browser component inside a Layer/Page that is smaller than the browser component to hide the edges as shown below.
