I don't believe that there is such a thing as an animated .png.
It's an extension to PNG called APNG, although it appears that the
standard file-extension is .png. Works in Firefox 3.6; may not work in
other browsers. The "Spinfox" demo at
http://people.mozilla.com/~dolske/apng/demo.html is quite impressive.
I can't find any browser other than Firefox that supports it, and MSIE
even fails to correctly support the animated gifs.
I haven't seen any examples with the Maps API, and haven't had a
reason to try it myself; but I'd think it was likely to work in
browsers which support it. And browsers which don't should simply show
the first frame.
If the file has a .png extension, then the API will check the browser
type and if it's MSIE will use AlphaImageLoader to handle the
transparency. AlphaImageLoader doesn't handle animation even if MSIE
ever does get APNG support.
