Frank, Your best bet is probably Scaled Vector Graphics (SVG). This is becoming an excellent way to view spatial data using only a browser such as Internet Explorer or Netscape, using a freely available plugin from Adobe or Corel. I've been a MapInfo user for over 10 years now, but have decided to move our business into the realm of SVG, as it allows non-GIS users an easy way to interact with spatial data, tailored to their requirements.
To this end, we've written a utility to export the content of Mapper windows to SVG format, and then via Javascript programming (that we've written), users can filter the data, turn layers on and off, and also as you want, animate the data. We don't sell the conversion software, but use it to produce SVG web maps for our clients. If you'd like to find out more about SVG, see www.adobe.com/svg and if you'd like to pursue a solution from us, please contact me offlist.
