VFP 6 has the animation activex control. You could display a .avi file (standard ones are included in the Visual Studio, I don't know if it comes with just the VFP 6 upgrade.) I tried using animated icons, but it only worked for me in development. When I made a .exe file, it failed to display the animation.
I like the activeX control - its very easy to use.
