No, while gifs usually have multiple 'frames' within the file itself, they cannot animate themselves. The reason why lots of people believe what you believe is that they only view gifs in a browser of specialized image viewer that handles the animation. That being said, for the love of god, don't use gifs for something like this. It'd be much easier to make a sprite sheet and blit rectangles from it. Frankly, I can't remember how efficient B3D's sprites are, but provided you implement it properly you should be fine.

Remember when GIF was the best format for website images? I have a backup of the MediEvil website; most if not all images are in GIF. The low-res horror...
