Linked to assets in editor

[zielinski.mark]

I uploaded an animated GIF as an asset, but how do I link to it so that the image is displayed?

I have read this

Displaying GIFs

Is there a native way to show animated gifs? The image component just shows a static picture. I could run a timer and flick between the images, but wondered if there was a built in way.

but I am not sure what the “theme” is in my case. Are these placeholder values?

You’ll probably want to store it in a Data Table, instead of as an asset. It might be worth learning how to display an image first, this tutorial here might be of some help: Anvil Docs | Files, Media and Binary Data

Not sure why you’re referencing theme here, don’t think its relevant

No, it’s exactly what you use. For example, I have a gif named loading_glass.gif in Assets, and can use it by setting the image source to _/theme/loading_glass.gif.

Yep, that did it. I am not sure why it didn’t load previously.

Thanks!
