@chrissix - You could make a folder where each frame of the animation is a png, then use a multiimage control to animate them. That's how the animated weather icon resources work.
e.g.

Code:


- Tom Cruise
---/ tt123345678
------/ 01.png
------/ 02.png
------/ 03.png
------/ 04.png
------/ etc.


xml:


<control type="multiimage">

    <timeperimage>50</timeperimage>

    <fadetime>10</fadetime>

    <imagepath>special://skin/media/chrissixgif/$INFO[ListItem.IMDBNumber]/$INFO[Container(50).ListItem.Label]/</imagepath>

</control>

Change <timeperimage> to change speed of animation.
