Place a series of images in the upper right corner?

Question

I would like to place a series of photos (image_1.png,...,image_54.png) from a file named flip_book_animation, in the upper right corner of every page starting from the seventh page onwards. The document is written in greek. I have read several posts but I can't find something that finally works. The code I use doesn't seem to work either. Instead of the image it shows 'scale=0.5', which I use in the code, translated in the greek language. Some code I use:

\documentclass[a5paper,pagesize,12pt,bibtotoc,pointlessnumbers,
normalheadings,twoside=false,DIV=9]{scrbook}

\usepackage[english,greek]{babel}
\usepackage{ucs}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage{kerkis}

\usepackage{verbatim}
\usepackage{everypage}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{scalefnt}
\usepackage{flipbook}

\fancyhead[R]{                           
\setlength{\unitlength}{0.5cm} 
   \begin{picture}(1,1.6) 
      \put(0,0){
          \fbImageF*{./Documents/latex/Book_Olympios/flip_book_animation/image_}{png}{scale=0.5}
     }
 \end{picture}
}

and the result is

enter image description here

Any feedback is highly appreciated! Thanks

Welcome to TeX.SX! Please make your code compilable (if possible), or at least complete it with \documentclass{...}, the required \usepackage's, \begin{document}, and \end{document}. That may seem tedious to you, but think of the extra work it represents for TeX.SX users willing to give you a hand. Help them help you: remove that one hurdle between you and a solution to your problem. — Adam Liter, Dec 08 '14 at 20:37
There are a host of question dealing with this type of placement: How do I add an image in the upper, left-hand corner using TikZ and graphicx; How can I add text in the top right corner of a page without using fancyhdr; What are the ways to position things absolutely on the page? The last entry is your best starting point (and also might be a duplicate for this post, if not any other). — Werner, Dec 08 '14 at 20:39

Starting with my answer at What are the ways to position things absolutely on the page?, I modified it to increment a counter and use it to build successive indexed filenames. I manually add a stop so that if the page number exceeds the maximum filename index, it just stays on the last filename.

The macro \animatexy{x}{y}{filename root} is the syntax.

I extracted four frames from the example at http://www.teach-ict.com/gcse_new/software/animation/miniweb/pg3.htm and named then frame1.jpg, frame2.jpg, frame3.jpg, and frame4.jpg. Page 5 and thereafter, as seen, will be stuck on the last frame (#4), though one could create a blank image in frame5.jpg, and then there would be no visible images after frame 4.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{everypage, graphicx}
% THESE ARE LaTeX DEFAULTS; CAN CHANGE IF NEEDED.
\def\PageTopMargin{1in}
\def\PageLeftMargin{1in}
\newcounter{framenumber}
\newcommand\animatexy[3]{%
 \gdef\thefilename{#3\theframenumber}%
 \AddEverypageHook{\smash{\hspace*{\dimexpr-\PageLeftMargin-\hoffset+#1\relax}%
  \raisebox{\dimexpr\PageTopMargin+\voffset-#2\relax}{%
  \includegraphics{\thefilename}}}}%
}
\AddEverypageHook{\stepcounter{framenumber}%
  \ifnum\theframenumber>4\setcounter{framenumber}{4}\fi}
\begin{document}
\animatexy{6.8in}{3in}{frame}
page 1
\clearpage
page 2
\clearpage
page 3
\clearpage
page 4
\clearpage
page 5
\end{document}
