Yes, Freezeframe.js can be used on Webflow to control animated GIF files with actions. Here's how you can implement it:

  1. Add Freezeframe.js to your Webflow project:
  • Download the latest version of Freezeframe.js from the official GitHub repository.
  • Upload the Freezeframe.js file to your Webflow project's hosting or add it to your custom code section.
  1. Create an HTML embed:
  • In the Webflow Designer, navigate to the page where you want to use Freezeframe.js.

  • Drag and drop an HTML embed element onto the canvas.

  • Double-click on the HTML embed element.

  • In the HTML embed settings, paste the following code:

    ```html

    ```

    Replace "path/to/freezeframe.js" with the actual path to the Freezeframe.js file hosted on your Webflow project.

  1. Upload and add your GIF files:
  • In the Webflow Designer, click on the assets panel.
  • Click on the "Upload" button to upload your animated GIF files.
  • Once uploaded, drag and drop an image element onto the canvas where you want to display the GIF.
  • In the image settings, choose the uploaded GIF file as the image source.
  • Give the image element a class name so you can target it with Freezeframe.js.
  1. Add interactions and actions:
  • With the image element still selected, click on the "Interactions" panel in the right sidebar.
  • Click on the "+" button to add a new interaction.
  • Choose the trigger that you want to use, such as on click or hover.
  • In the interaction settings, add an action.
  • Choose the Freezeframe.js action you want to use, such as "togglePlay" to pause or resume the GIF.

That's it! With these steps, you can control animated GIF files using Freezeframe.js on Webflow. Remember to customize the code and interactions based on your specific needs and design.
