Well, you can find details of setting up the motion chart here:
http://code.google.com/apis/visualization/documentation/gallery/motionchart.html#Example

The example is pretty much complete, except that it uses static data.

There's an example (but using the intensity map) of how to fetch from
a spreadsheet here: 
http://code.google.com/apis/ajax/playground/?type=visualization#data_source_request.

But Im still puzzled about your example. It works for me if I turn on
debugging (after reporting a couple of errors originating inside the
gadgets code), but not otherwise. And Chartman claims it works for him
without any errors...
