Animated Texture

[ZooeyWellhung]

I've really been enjoying modding mesh attachments and such on my avi for some time now. Recently I've seen a few mesh items with animated textures, like a GIF or something on them. I explored the "Media" setting on the build tools, and I have been able to make an MP4 video loop on a face of a mesh attachment nicely. Only problem: other users must have all four boxes under the Preference>Sound&Media>Media tab of their (firestorm) settings checked in able to see the animated texture.

Maybe I am using the term "animated texture" wrong, as its really video media that I got working. I suppose it wouldnt matter, but many people I talked to had the settings turned off, so I think it might be default. And I want people to see my cool mod! 

I know there must be a way to make an 'animated texture' on an attachment and still have others view it without them having those Media settings right, as I have seen it and didnt have those settings checked.

So my question is what is the right way to do animated texture so that everyone gets to enjoy them without adjusting those settings?

Thanks in advance to anyone who replies

Rather than using streaming media (also known as Media On A Prim or MOAP for short) you could try using a "sprite sheet" and the llSetTextureAnim command.
