Hello  
Is it possible to make a button background picture as a .GIF? I’m talking about animated pictures and how?

Thanks in advance

Yes.  
It’s possible.  
I have tested this.  
Upload a .gif in assets, and set the button’s background image as the .gif image

Hope it Helps! 😉

I wan’t sure about _animated_ gif, but decided to try it, and it does work.

I do not know how to force it to play continuously however, one probably has to modify the internal loop counter in the file.  
Still, had to admit, it is way cool!
