I'm not sure how starting this thread is going to help you any more than the old one did, but I'll say again that animated GIFs work fine.

Go ahead and run this code and see for yourself:

  public static void main(String[] argv) throws MalformedURLException {
    URL url = new URL("");
    JLabel label = new JLabel("animated GIF", new ImageIcon(url), JLabel.LEFT);
 
    JFrame f = new JFrame();
    f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    f.getContentPane().add(label, BorderLayout.CENTER);
    f.setSize(120, 90);
    f.setVisible(true);
  }

That's using one of JavaRanch's animated GIFs. If it works with that one but not the ones you have created, I think I would first look at how you are creating your animated GIFs.
