When the map is rendered, it becomes a large static PNG image.
This means that any animated GIF file would not be animated anymore,
because the GIF image is copied into the PNG.
JPEG certainly does not support animation, and AFAIK, neither does PNG.
To do what you propose, you can insert a number of <img> tags in the
HTML, on top of the rendered PNG image.
These <img> tags can then be positioned as desired by reading their
coordinates from the datasource, and converting the coordinate to pixel
values.
It does require some coding on your part, but you may be able to create
it as a plug-in that can complement the existing MapGuide solution.
If you do manage to build this as a plugin, you can submit it for
inclusion with the regular viewer.

Hi Colleagues
Did someone insert GIF in to MapGuide Studio (symbol libraries)? I know that
the GIF format is not supported by the Symbol Libraries.
However, I thought it might be interesting to add animated GIF as symbols on
top of the MapGuide Platform, this would enhance the MGOS
Design and cartography abilities.
Cheers Ori
