People,

Can someone take a look at this scrolling graphic (implemented via
scripting); & tell me how I might recreate it as an animated .gif?:

http://mysite.verizon.net/vze3yjbu

I had wanted to add a graphic of a sound wave to my new site (created
in Dreamweaver MX...which will be a resource site for digital musicians
when complete); & to have it scroll across the page to resemble an
audio track during playback in a computer-based digital audio
workstation.

I created the graphic myself; & thought I had it configured properly
with an appropriate java script to scroll correctly...but when I
uploaded the site, the script caused it to scroll beautifully,
allright...but the cursor on the page undergoes a rapid-fire toggling
between the cursor arrow & the hourglass.

A java programmer tells me it's because the cursor is switching
between normal & busy...because the code is making a server call at the
same rate the script causes it to scroll.

He suggested I would be better off with an animated .gif.

In anticipation of this (it was going to be my first choice for
implementation)...I made the graphic twice as long as the width of my
page...so as to consecutively frame it for movement in an area as wide
as the page.

But that's as far as I got...I'm drawing a blank on how to get it
done.

Can anyone offer any suggestions on the correct method for a wide
scrolling animated .gif image?

(I'm using ImageReady.) 

Thanks very much,
