Can't you grab those time stamped gif files (for whatever length of time you want the radar to animate), create your own animated gif offline, and overlay that on the map? Seems to me that's an easier solution than trying to figure out how to do it in you map script (through JS) - not saying it's impossible, just looking for a better solution.
For example, you could use something like Image Magick to automate the merging of the gif files and feed it back to you map. This way you can generate those gifs on some interval as opposed to dynamically when someone loads up the page, thus providing a faster load. Image Magick's website had a ton of examples on image manipulation. -- Sent via Android, from somewhere fun.

Currently, it shows a radar image that I got from here: http://radar.weather.gov/Conus/RadarImg/ (I am using latest_radaronly.gif) as a GGroundOverlay. What I would like to do is have the radar animate and show the progression. I know this can be done, The image directory has timestamped gif files, so I'm pretty sure this can be done. After searching around on here for a while I've seen a lot of discussion about it, but none that have the full national mosaic radar image animating. If anyone knows of a working example, I'd really appreciate it. Or if you could point me in the right direction for writing a loop that would be fantastic.
