SKAnimateControl ActiveX Control
The SKAnimateControl ActiveX control can be used to display small repeating animations within SiteKiosk skins. It was designed especially for displaying a busy animation. All animation frames must have the same dimensions and have to be assembled in a single image file side by side. For another example, please see the busy-animation source file of SiteKiosk's default browser skin.

Remarks
This ActiveX control is available in the form of scripts that can be used in combination with SiteKiosk.
Use the SKAnimateControl to examine or modify the display of animated images.
To initialize the ActiveX control use the OBJECT tag and, in particular, the classID to identify the control.
Set the initial object properties between the opening and closing OBJECT tags with PARAM tags.
