If i add an animated gif image to a label ( pixmap ) and then compile the application the movement of the animated gif image will not been show... How can it been shown?

Take for example the attachment gif image....

I had add this to the constructor and the label just do not show nothing... ( the part that is saying icons/bsusy.gif i had changed it to :/icons/bsusy.gif but still nothing )


QLabel FlamesLabel;
QMovie *movie = new QMovie("icons/bsusy.gif");

FlamesLabel.setMovie(movie);
movie->start();

Any ideas?

Is this your actual code? The label seems to be a local variable.

Yes this the actual code... Flames Lbel is the label i want to be on the backround

and why is it a local variable rather than on the heap?

Show more of your code. What you are posting is unlikely to work as you expect.
