jorenders,
forms <> html. You can't. You could build your own moving gif in forms using different gifs and timers. That is, if you don't care about client side perfomance.

WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE:
   DECLARE

	timer_id Timer; 
	one_second NUMBER(4) := 1000;
  BEGIN 
	:global.dummy := '1';
	READ_IMAGE_FILE('c:\users\frans\images\test1.bmp', 'BMP', 'image1');
	READ_IMAGE_FILE('c:\users\frans\images\test2.bmp', 'BMP', 'image2');
	timer_id := CREATE_TIMER('FLASH_TIMER', one_second);

 END; WHEN-TIMER-EXPIRED:
DECLARE
        v_number number;
BEGIN
  v_number := to_number(:global.dummy);

  IF v_number = 1 THEN 
   SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('IMAGE2', DISPLAYED, PROPERTY_FALSE);
   SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('IMAGE1', DISPLAYED, PROPERTY_TRUE);

ELSE
   SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('IMAGE1', DISPLAYED, PROPERTY_FALSE);    SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('IMAGE2', DISPLAYED, PROPERTY_TRUE); END IF;
 v_number := - v_number;
:global.dummy := to_char(v_number);
END; hth
