Viewing Animated GIF files in Preview

Hello...

I'm trying to figure out why I cannot view animated GIF files within Preview. When I search within Preview's help I get this...


*1. Open the animated GIF file in Preview.*

*2. If the window's drawer isn't already visible, choose View > Drawer.*

*The drawer contains a thumbnail image for the animated GIF. The number of frames in the animation appears in the lower-right corner.*

*3. Click the triangle beside the thumbnail image.*

*Preview shows all the frames in the animated GIF. When you click a frame, the animation stops and Preview displays that frame.*

Now at the end of number 3 it states that "the animation stops", so according to that statment Preview should be "playing" the animation until I click a certain frame to stop it. Well mine doesn't do this, SO what's going on?

Oh, my OS is v10.4.10 and Preview is v3.0.9(409).


Thanks!
