This is pretty irritating. Like i said, the gif file when played back in PS itself looks perfect as I want it. Then when i save it, all the layers that i designate to be hidden just stay on screen after their frame plays. Am i somehow saving it the wrong way or what?

Gif file looks fine in PS, but when I play it after its saved, the hidden layers show
Re: Gif file looks fine in PS, but when I play it after its saved, the hidden layers
Yep, saving for web. When i preview it in the save for web window that pops up, it opens Firefox and plays it and this is where you can first notice the problem, and it also happens when it's saved. if I play the gif in photoshop with the animation window open it looks perfect.

some of your layers do have rough edges not as clean as the rest.Re: Gif file looks fine in PS, but when I play it after its saved, the hidden layers
Hey thanks man.. I guess i need to work ont hose edges then, and it was saved to run once on purpose.. I had no clue that doing so would make it do that, but then that makes me wonder then why even allow you to save a multi frame gif when set to run once only if they know it will do that?

Ok i just had another look at it, you have a couple of layers with a multi layered image on them, why? When the rest of your animation looks fine.
As the arrow shows the layer i picked out as four differing sizes on that single layer?

Yep i can explain, whats supposed to happen with the red part is the block is meant to look like its expanding and contracting, then expanding and contracting slightly again towards the end to make it look like jello settling. Some frames then had to be duplicated since the "jiggle" would take the object back through that size more than once.
But on a side note, eh well i saved it this time to run forever and it still happened...

Well wait nevermind apparently that wasnt the problem.. Sigh... Still doing it, amazing. I made a gif in Photoshop moths ago and it turned out fine, i'm pretty much doing the same thing now and this is happening.

I am no guru here but looking at your file I believe I know what your problem is.When clicking on the individual animated frames at the bottom when opened in PS.It appears you have multiple random frames selected for many of the animated frames.Select the animated frames.Then scroll through your layers to make sure only the image you want for that animated frame is selected.

Re: Gif file looks fine in PS, but when I play it after its saved, the hidden layers
I did reply Paul, scroll back and look.
As mentioned. I saw there were only a few frames that had multiple layers of the red box set to be visible. I Unchecked those frames and the problem was still happening. Yes most frames have one of EACH different image - the chat box, red square, and the numbers active, but they have to be since I want one of each of those those images in the animation. both boxes and the numbers all at some point have to be together in the image at the same time ...Look my understanding of photoshop animation is that you set which layer you want visible in any given frame. If theyre not set to visible, then they should not be appearing,or am I completely wrong?

Re: Gif file looks fine in PS, but when I play it after its saved, the hidden layers
Your problem starts at frame 6, the first frame where the image gets smaller, the larger frame 5 doesn't go away even though it's not selected in the PSD, the multiple layers are really irrelevant.
Any time a larger image is replaced with a smaller one the large one remains.
I'm lost on this one.

Hi Steve, actually I know it's hard to notice because they blend so well but the problems do begin from the start with the chat notification area. It's also supposed to do a jiggle effect but you cant see it because when the frames come in which the image shrinks after expanding, you cant notice it because the frame where the box is at its largest is still on screen, hiding the edges of the shrinking.
