GIF as a custom control.

[Seiryuu90]

Hi! I made a control of just boolean indicator and replaced graphics using animated .GIF files that I made, one for True and one for False state of the "button". When I created the array of such buttons, it is showing some weird signs such as when I press one element of the array, the whole array gets True or some glitches on the animation. Why is that?
I am trying to make just a game that when boolean indicator is ON, there is a car and when it's off it's just a road. Uploaded the files of project and the custom control I made. Thank you.

Take a look at this. I explain how to do this in this nugget.

I'd say, the thing with the glitches is simply due to the fact that LV is not made to display animations and definitely not several at once.

I cannot run your VI as I got LV 2021, so I can't say something about the other problem.

I cannot open OP's VI too.

But LabVIEW is capable of display multiple animated gifs at the same time.  See attached VI.

I guess the problem is using the button in an array.

Probably.  The thing about using an array as a control/indicator in LabVIEW that can be misleading is the following.

What can be different from one element to the next:

• Data values

What has to be the same from one element to the next:

• Everything else

The "everything else" includes stuff you wouldn't think about normally, but things like fonts, colors, the position of a scroll bar in a scrolling text indicator, the position of an array index, and so on are all forced to be identical.  So unless your graphic is a data value... that's probably why.
