RE: guideline 7.1 about screen flickering

Looks fine to me.  It isn't flickering at all.  What 'they' call screen
flicker is more in the lines of image changeouts and color changing.  They
really need to change their wording to 'element flicker' or something.  By
calling it screen flicker, I think monitor refresh rates.  And that is
something we as developers cannot control.

Your .gif is good to go.

Subject: guideline 7.1 about screen flickering


Okay, experts!  I have been asked to put another agency's animated gif on my
Web site.  I am hesitant to  use it because of guideline 7.1--"Until user
agents allow users to control flickering, avoid causing the screen to
flicker."  Here's the link to the checklist item:
http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10/wai-pageauth.html#tech-avoid-flicker

How can I determine if the gif in question is within the guidelines?  (gif
attached)  If it is not, I guess I can ask for a non-animated gif.
