bmp is good.
just capture the frames and load them one after another...
will test.

yep, animated bmp!

code:
$m = CreateObject("kixtart.form")
$m.caption = "Steal Focus - Main"
$m.width = 200
$m.height = 100
$m.center
$text = $m.richtextbox(,5,5,180,80)
$img=$text.image()
$img.show
$timer=$m.timer(500)
$timer.ontimer="swap()"
$m.visible=1
While $m.visible $x=Execute($m.doevents) Loop

function swap()
$current=$current+1
$img.picture=@scriptdir+"\tongue"+$current+".bmp"
if $current=3 $current=0 endif
endfunction

the tongue 1 2 and 3 are extracted frames from the boards images/icons/tongue.gif
