Guess it's not a high-priority item for Articulate. Won't be able to use
animated gifs in Storyline until this is fixed. Frankly, I wasn't impressed

Oh for sure!  After 3 plus years of not working, it is now filed under lip service. 

I did another test today.  I created the transparent gif and sized it to what I needed in Photoshop.  Imported in 360, and there it is...the purple dot.

I hope Articulte knows that Flash is going away and people can't use it soon.  In my organization, we have rolled out Chrome where it doesn't use Flash. 

All in all, this is just a joke.  They've known about this issue for years and you're right. It's not important to them. 

Its just frustrating, because my gif is used in a game that I created and it looks like garbage. I'll be placing the blame on Articulate for this.
