I found something rather interesting. Appearently jpeg's and png's can BOTH have animations like gifs can O.o

Take this for example:

I saved my animations in png and they work fine in GE.

No, Hblade, NoH isn't speaking of the same thing as you are.
HE is speaking of normal frame-by-frame animations while YOU are speaking about animated PNG's.. :P
