frames of your own image.

If you have more than 8
just click on the extra frames - one by one and delete them.

Go back to frame 1 of the image.
Edit --> Select All.
Leave it for now selected.

Activate the 'leuke.gif'- animation again.
Go to Edit --> Select All.
Edit --> Copy.
Activate your PSP-image again.
Edit --> Paste into Selected Frames.
The 'leuke.gif' will cling to the mouse pointer now.
Position it where you want it and then just click on the spot in the 1st image frame where you want it.

Click on the animation icon on the top toolbar

Click on the animation icon again when you want to close it.
