A method of displaying a group of animated buttons (A, B, C) on a display (12) in a synchronized manner is described, each button being associated with at least two sequences of pictures, each sequence being associated with a certain status of the corresponding button, all sequences having the same number of pictures (NP). When the button is in a certain status, the pictures of the corresponding sequence are displayed sequentially and repeatedly in a predetermined order, starting again with the first picture. When a button (X) changes from a current status to a second status (i), display of the sequence associated with the second status starts with the picture having ranking number jx that satisfies the formula: jx = [(CC-Q) mod NP] + 1; wherein CC indicates the value of a Common Counter which is incremented by 1 at picture display transition moments, the counter being common to all fields belonging to said group; and wherein Q indicates the starting value or reset value of the common counter. |
