Clearing previous frames - warkaround

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I've also noticed that with some gifs the previous frames aren't cleared 
properly (issue 8 and 10). A way to 'fix' these gifs is to open them in 
photoshop (cs5, I don't know what previous versions can edit animated gifs) for 
example, open the animation panel, select all the frames and set the frame 
disposal method to dispose. The gifs I tried had the disposal method set to 
"don't dispose" only for the first frame.

I hope this helps anyone who encountered this problem.

You could also change lines 115, 116, and 117 in GIFPlayer.as to be 
bitmapData = aFrames[ iIndex ].bitmapData;  
which makes it so whether dispose or don't dispose is toggled, it will always 
dispose.

(Or just replace the whole switch statement to be the line.)

I have resolved this issue by clearing the image source loaded initially.

include attached GIFImage.as in your project.
and use like below to load gif image

<org:GIFImage source="images/icon/loading-bar.gif"/>
