[thelist] Flash Rollover Alternative

[Tony Grimes]

I was just hired to finish a website started by another designer who used
Flash for the nav bar. I'd rather use XHTML/CSS. Does anyone know how I can
create a standards compliant version of this rollover:

I'm thinking of using an animated gif as the background, but I don't know
how to create it. Is there a program that will convert a movie like that
into a gif? I don't even want to think about creating that manually in
Photoshop.

And before you ask, the client is adamant that the rollover stay the way it
is. He doesn't care if I use Flash or not, just as long as it looks the same
(or just as flashy I guess), but I'd like to avoid using Flash if possible.

Thanks in advance,
Tony
